So, what you are trying to make is a personal language that can be easily
read by anyone knowing a few natural or constucted roman languages.

As I understand your -e ending would be an epicene and neuter mark,
while -o/-a are sexual gender optional marks... I've remember having toyed
with a similar idea in some sketches long before joining the list:

For the epicene/neuter I used words ending in consonant, with -o/-a for
sexual marking (not actually grammatical gender)... if I remember correctly,
no sex distinction was made in the plural with just added -i, -e and -u
where used for adjectives.

Then:
  fen: friend (can someone guess the etimology?)
  fena: lady friend
  feno: guy friend
  feni: friends
  fenu: friendly ...
  fene: the friendly ...

something like that.

Well.  Once your goal is clear... I don't know if you nootice auxlanging is
not a _fenu_ territory, quite different is the reaction in sharing ideas
when nobody is trying to convince any other which one is best.
