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.
