I haven't done much since the last time I was here, whenever that was.
Actually, wow, the thing at the top of the page says my last visit was March 29. Conlanging requires both free time and energy, and grad school has pretty well robbed me of both.

'Ayeri's verbs used to be longer at first, but I shortened them.'
Like, IIRC originally, object pronouns could cliticize to the VP as well, so what is just batisyang (tos) could originally have been something like:
mabataisāyangyonaris
mə-bata-isa-ay-ang-yon-aris.
PST-short-CAU-1S-A-3PL.N-P
'I shortened them.'
I should dig out old notes and lol at them.

Well I don't know what I was thinking last night but I updated the orthography. taytyugganilay used to be taytxughkanilay. Also in the process of writing that one sentence the language rapidly dropped its Bantu-with-serial-numbers-filed-off look.

I think it has a lot of umlauts.
(As does Miar. And before anyone asks, Ch always represents aspirated stops/affricates, whereas the corresponding C is an ejective stop/affricate, and aspirated consonants vary with fricatives, so that's why <sh> is just [s]. <s> is [tsʼ].)
