Oldvak - something to figure out

I'm working on a new language for my conworld, and I thought I'd share a
little about it with the listfolk.  It's using a new structure that I just
came up with, and I don't know if it's ever been done.  (I'm sure that
anadewism will strike, though).  Here's a sentence in Oldvak, and a
translation into English.

   "Egeltas piabaya, egenelt dvalderas, nur egirelt ati."
   "When I am at the meadow, I am not in the woods, but I may be on my way
there."

Each of the three parts separated by commas in English is in the same order
and separated the same way in Oldvak.  The same verb is used in each of the
three parts.  Basic word order is SVO.  "nur" is a conjunction much like
"but".

Here's another example.

   "Egireltyeu dvalderi.  Dvalder aleltu egi."
   "I am not stopping my going to the forest.  The forest stopped coming to
me."

Same verb being used in these two sentences as in the other example.

Anyone think they know how this works?
