oooh ταλβόλτα talbólta maybe.
From VL tālem voltam "such time" (from CL tālis "such" and volūtāta, from volūtātus, from volūtō, frequentative of volvō "roll" through its participle volūtus), cognate of Irlandic talvolt, with the same meaning, itself related to Ibero-Romance (Castilian tal vez, Portuguese talvez).

Yayenpun Okutamaze (Gukutana) nusuikalaitei, zeizegu Omeze (Guune) niyinanpelaiteya, nauzeti niligitei, yaukiuselle Kichijojize (Kitizuuzi) neyetulaite. Naiyiukiusel naigaukiusel lufuiyiusiinai (feituikiipauyikilui feipakilu). Gisaiya patai zuyui nanai lusete.
Today I went to Okutama by train, and from there to Ome by bike, but I got carried away, and instead went the whole distance to Kichijoji. The second distance was more than twice the first distance (58 km and 23 km). I'm proud, but stupid and crazy and many other things.

We're conversing in languages that don't actually exist. I think we're all little crazy.

Oh! Another romlang written with Greek letters! It was high time!

Yeah, it's a pretty obvious idea, but I like the way it looks. ^^;

I kind of plan to make a conscript based on Phoenician. This language, Newroman (name pending), is supposed to be spoken in an alternate universe where the Carthiginians won the Second Punic War, but Rome survived.
(so far, longest text in this language. might have made a mistake)

I LOVE the design of the Apocrypha plane in Skyrim! Although, Hermaeus Mora's voice could be better...

I wish I could use Greek letters. Lilitika has too many phonemes!

I have never liked Greek letters.

Yaufulti naigiliisetakentagu gusakeltal luseyauya, fise yaluseyau.
Yaufulti looks ok in the greek alphabet, but not good.
(I know I'm kinda stretching it with using υ for /j/)

I can write Arve in Greek, but it works better if it's done phonetically.
(stigma for ç because one of the diachronic sources of ç is *st)

Rewriting my post in Greek and Hebrew alphabet.

The Hebrew part is a bit hard because I don't know whether to use something based on ktiv haser or ktiv male, plus I'm not sure if I need to distinguish some of the vowels vs consonants better.

Newroman with Greek letters is really simple, but I think it looks cool.

This is Buruya Nzaysa as I would write it with Greek symbols.

This type of symbols suits the language quite well, although you can only really see it when you use specific words.
(xi ξ for /js/ because the major diachronic source for this cluster is *ks~kt; theta θ for /ts/, qoppa ϙ for /ʔ/, digamma ϝ for /v/ (doesn't occur here), and schwa ə for /ə/ because all Greek vowel symbols are already taken.)
new word: yəma(n.) symbol, sign, mark, character (of a script) < Fáralo iəma.
