A bit of Varai

Thanks to all repliers to 'Sorry'! Here's a summary of a few features of
Varai, my language. While it still is in its alpha-stage, these general
features are likely to stay:

1. Ergativty
Varai is an ergative language. This is neat since this enables Varai
speakers to have an unmarked dative and an unmarked ergative..
Example: "Thef tunai vea ket." The teacher gives me to you. (Word order: V
E A D G)

2. Unconjugated verbs
Verbs aren't conjugated for simplicity (and since I see no reason why they
should be).

3. Waky plurals
Example:
Thef tunai vea ket. The teacher gives me to you.
Thef thunai eaer thet. The teachers give us to you.

Next time I post, I'll have the rest of the present grammar and more up on
a website.
