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.

Making whole sentences using only one verb root and its declensions!
[tay] - to connect, link, form a relationship.
strong: tai
med: tay, te
weak: ti


Taiyas tiyás taigavid atayanta.
tay-ya.h(h-->s) ti-yáh(h-->s) tai-gá(a.a-->a.vid) a-taya-nta.
LINK-psn(MSC).nom lnk-psn(FEM).nom LINK-place(FEM).loc pst-link-3pl.
The man and the woman in the city got together.

Thread wise:
Halámi. - I sleep
Ahalám. - I slept
Ishvárakáya ahalám. - I slept for 8 hours (lit. I slept for quarter-day)
Sanishvá șava hálám. - I have slept well today.
Om șava hályasti! - May you all sleep well!
Vaiyashvayam savam halena samahalat - He died last night in his sleep. (die: lit. complete-sleep)

On another note -
Masya hridyakavo 'ham ravathayámi - I fight for mah friends!
Talāṃ leya kalakena rāmah, saktalām peha leya bhūmena ca.
See a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower.
Omkāṃs tava sutvantayam pharo, 'naiṃ le' jeś ca.
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour.

Hahaha, I added those because I was trying to figure out my new verbs.

Kanaze, sibiba ya rotura sumi dani doma:
Anyway, the paradigm of the daughter language so far will be:

stem2-e future (I will be sleeping) la jache
COP.PAST -o past habitual (I used to sleep) la da jaco
COP.PRES -o present habitual (I sleep) la sa jaco

Since we're doing verb paradigms...

ImageImage - tui erng: he sleeps/he slept/he will sleep
ImageImageImage - tui aak erng: he does/did/will indeed sleep
ImageImageImage - tui erng: he does not/did not/will not sleep

Perfect
ImageImageImage - tui erng dua: he has slept (so he no longer needs to sleep)
ImageImageImage - tui erng joum: he has slept (before, in his life)
ImageImageImage - tui erng moang: he has just now woken up/just now finished sleeping

Imperfect
ImageImageImage - tui erng bgaiy: he is sleeping now
ImageImageImage - tui erng doy: he is still sleeping (focus on topic/subject, with the sense of "he should get up already!")
ImageImageImage - tui erng wui: he is still sleeping; his sleep act still hasn't finished yet (focus on action, with the sense of "he must be tired!")
ImageImageImage - tui erng fneuut: he usually sleeps

Modals
ImageImageImage - tui flet erng: It appears likely that he will/did fall asleep (evidential)
ImageImageImage - tui erng klaang: it seems likely that he will/has/did sleep; he should sleep (epistemic)
ImageImageImage - tui erng fneuut: he may sleep/be sleeping/have slept (speculative)
ImageImageImage - tui erng borm: he can sleep (potential for ability)

They're inspired in Sindarin, as is the phonology. It's a Latin-Sindarin hybrid bogolang.

It's not a city. We sleep where the water flows into the land, that's why it's called Potantrommo (it-flows-into-here).
