Re: New Conlang-- Looking for Suggestions!

Nice work Jakob! I can see that you have put a lot of time into the work and
a lot of thought. My first attempt at a conlang in the last millenium was so
regular that it was boring ad nauseum. In fact I had written a list of
guiding principles which included that there were to be no irregularities. A
few of the things I had translated are still in my head though years later.

My own desires for my conlangs are that they would look as natural as
possible. I'd like to see some examples of irregular verbs (verbs are my
favourite part of speech) to see how you've handled them. I  have several
books from different languages with their irregular verbs (501 French verbs
& Beschelle) and I'm developing my own along the way as irregularities are
inherent to any language.

You list the gentive case... have the dative and accusitive dissapeared from
the lanugage as it has con-evolved?

Good work!
