Help your conlang fluency (2)

Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

Did you create the root or use some sort of lexical derivation?

(Why do you have 1s-2s create for "I created it" - wouldn't that be "I created you"?)

I was playing with dozhe "beautiful" and kineres "rhythm", and came up with kizhes. That's the real word derivation, in the conworld there is no (known) etimological connection between these words.

Typo. omoñ is actually 1s-3s.

Alahithian is an auxiliary language shared between
Much of the vocabulary comes from one group (unnamed)'s language, and I'm trying to come up with sound changes to create it. This is an example of what could happen:

Alahithian: Om gothorkel. Omoñ dekirk ota. Erefas kix om bocabawp pa davoth oh ol alahith zin.

"Unnamed" Om gödhlgel. Omoñ degilk oda. Erevas kix om bocbawp pa davoth oh ol alhith zin.

In Dwarfish, "Music" grew out of "Tyoluth", which is meaning "Wind", and "Songyek", which is meaning "Bone", because the first Instruments were made from bones.

Dáb "ɨĩɖeitsa" žá "ɨĩɖei" çegja "-tsa".
"Music" comes from "singing" plus "-tsa" (the collective suffix).
I did have a bizarrely similar (to the original poster's) accident about four years ago, in which I slipped over a cookie and somehow twisted my ankle so far that it broke
What kind of cookie?
