Re: Help your conlang fluency
Is Xephyr's Storytime with Ug down?
I see he removed the link from his signature, and Google doesn't show it when you search for it anymore (it used to before).

But when a user error can cause an app error, the app is also to blame!

The snow is on the elephants.
The Kunesian word for "snow" also means "ivory" or "elephant's tusk".

Snow is a kind of cold ivory. Sometimes it falls just like rain. That happens in the mountains and in some far-away countries.

In some places there's a cold period every year when it snows a lot. When it becomes warm, the snow melts.

Snow is white, and cold. It looks like powder. When you touch it, it turns into water. When it's very cold, it falls from the sky instead of rain. Most of the time, snow falls from the sky during a time called "winter". In some countries, when it's winter snow doesn't fall every year, and when it snows, it may snow just a bit. In other countries, lots of snow fall, covering the ground and the trees and the houses, a few meters thick even. The whole wold is white. In some countries, or some parts of countries, there's always snow on the ground. But in most countried, when winter is gone, it gets warm and snow turns into water.
