Just found some more Erava & Tanala

Plus the beginnings of yet another conlang, as yet unnamed, as follows:

he'artain - chosen one, |he-| is passive prefix, no specific tense, aspect
perfected.

Kar'are Te'ya Nachen, Nachen's Kar'are - Te'ya is a postposed article with a
genitive particle postposed to it, so literally Kar'are the-of Nachen.

The Erava:

Yekartai qi   at     naiserizan
Call       we they  uncivilized

"Inqo  Par'khai  Naichu  Rieriouta                  Tifai   Naichu."
 Inqo  Parekh's Bastard  Of the clan of Rie'ari  Tife's  Son

Parekh was a famous king renowned for his attraction to the opposite sex,
among other things; Rie'ari was the (contested) leader of the mounted forces
of Seraii Kero long before it became the human capital city, besides being a
centre for much legendry and story telling.  Tifai Naichu is the standard
patronymic for the upper class.

Tanala:

"Erava!?  Oi   kwai  tevare Erava!?!
Erava"     Do  we    speak  Erava

Antevare    kwai Erava!  Tevare kwai Tanala, Tanala, Tanala!!!"
Not-Speak  we    Erava  Speak  we    Tanala ...

Read and enjoy!
