Thenqol seems to resemble Nenshar on the surface.
I see a city.
Thenqol: kewxát tejxít = I-(eye) city-(vision)
Nenshar: siloper lukesa = city-(state of focus) eye-my(state of activity)
I walk in the city.
Thenqol: kewrát tejríttaj. I-(foot) city-(walk-place)
Nenshar: silopesh magesa = city-(state of locational-reference) leg-my
(state of activity)
I take a stone
Thenqol: Kewtár laktárgoshwan.= I-(hand) stone
Nenshar: daper shusa = stone-(state of focus) hand-my-(state of activity)
I created Nenshar a few years back after reading Vance’s _The Languages of
Pao_, and wondering if it would be possible to make a language solely based
on nouns & their states.
