Here's a quick poem that I came up with after reading about the Flaidish conception of time:

The future is behind me,
it's running very fast.
I tried to get away from it,
but I will never last!

Flaidish: (my attempt at Flaidish)

ʔato zyt ʔatyd va,
sernse naj joss.
ʔok ʔelfooten seele ʔellor,
frett ʔok sauʔ mardno.

Zomp, can you correct this, please? I'm certain that I've missed some important aspect, but I don't know what to look for.

It looks OK to me. If I'm not mistaken, I find that I never specified which case to use after prepositions! Objective seems fine, though.

Well, the Flaidish grammar was a bit hard to read.

I basically did this on a 20-30 minute TC bender while at Starbucks.

I'm glad that it looks OK, there were some confusing parts in the grammar, but I found everything I needed, apparently.

You never explain under what circumstances e becomes /ə/. There also is no mention of which syllable is to be stressed.

1. e is never reduced... you've found a longstanding set of typos!

2. The stress rule is given in the phonology section.

1. So goreck should in fact be /ɡuɾɛk/, not /ɡuɾək/ as it is now?

2. I found the stress rule.

1. Yes; I just uploaded a corrected version. Looks like a single destructive cut n paste did it...

And also use ɪ and ʊ instead of I and ʋ.

I'd say beyintpo. (Reraised)
