I just had to comment on an observation I found interesting -- two different conlangs
with a word almost identical in both:

The word for "make" in Evíendadhail is "nend", and the imperative marker "-e" makes
the word "nende".

The word for "make" in Aspele (my conlang) is "nel", but when the third person
marker and the imperative marker are attached, the consonants assimilate and the
word becomes "nendes".

Interesting...
