I've been looking at Essentialist Explantations again, and was wondering if
anybody could come up with one for Khangaþyagon. Here's a quick sample,
with pronunciation, gloss, and translation.

busy.be.3p.pt.pl 3p.pl
And all those things that were new and busy.

and thing.this.pl all.this.pl "such that" old.be.3p.pt.pl 3p.pl and
calm.be.3p.pt.pl 3p.pl
And all those things that were old and calm.
The language has been described as sounding like Welsh. One Welsh speaker I
know denies this.
