That's my conlang. It's a good place to look if you're interested in
polylangs. Notice the inflections for agreement with both the subject
and object of the verb. That's the hallmark of polylangs. Noun-verb
compounding is important, too. Ask me if you have any specific
questions. There are other resources I could give you.
