I *love* polysynthetic languages, speaking one myself :))) (Oh my, this 
innocent remark is gonna start a long thread like last time I'm sure! ;))) ).

Interesting, the order of the personal affixes make it Vos. I like this 
word order :))) .

>There are clicks in it and @ and / represent those.
What kinds of clicks are they? You can use 
http://www.ling.hf.ntnu.no/ipa/full/ to find out which IPA characters 
correspond to those sounds, as well as 
http://cassowary.free.fr/Linguistics/cxschart.png to find out how we 
represent usually the IPA on this list (note: phonetic transcription is put 
between brackets []). I'd like also to know what the circumflex represents 
here: long vowels?
