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?

Wát nei hágr zmíðá merkir ðan. Uphávadam virir dágrí ðrí, oxk et nei víl én nú. It was not easy to make even that example. I began 3 days ago, and there is not much, even now.
Besides, I was going more on the transliteration, which reflects the native script as faithfully as I can get it. There are 7 verbs, 2 nouns excluding nominalisations, 3 adjectives, 3 number words, a numbers of pronouns and a particle. Just about the only interesting construction is that relative clauses are done by inserting an unmodified clause, and even that is not terribly interesting. I spent most of my time deriving a script, and working out a few sound changes to screw around with the nice simple grammar I'd devised. I can only just write in it.
