It's a good thing I'm so skillful as a sociopath. (Please note that I will feign many things, enormous ego and humor among them.)

Of course. You should never try to make a language completely isolating, agglutinating, or inflectional; it's just weird, and it isn't practical for any but isolation. Really, the only inflections are plural (-i or -d), singular genetive (-el), and plural genetive (-il). Christophero Sly "I'm just a drunkard!
