In my currently-most-active conlang project, Tirazdak (which is not on
CALS, or anywhere else on the Web), the standard greeting is "xianá ve
somáyu'n Varachti" ("may the peace of the Goddess be with you"), to
which the standard reply is "ne na xí" ("and with you").  In informal
situations this is usually shortened to just "somáyu" ("peace"), to
which the reply is also "somáyu".
