Take a look at the Paulic Language (Egaugnal Ciluapa) at
http://acm.cs.umn.edu/~jaymz/conlang/. (The link may be dead. I got it
from Kennaway's list, which often has dead links.) It mainly has reversed
English words with grammatical affixes, making the grammar to be the
largest part of the work. That would be nice. (:) But then, it would
erase the endless hours of fun that come from making the words.
