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.

I'm surprised I haven't seen something like this.

(First sketch of Modern Goth. Someone know a really good Gothic dictionary?)
AFAIK, Streitberg is still the scholarly go-to source as far as dictionaries are concerned. Lists of other ressources here and here.

What's the difference between the e's with underdots and the e's without underdots?

The speakers are not like humans and don't have vocal chords, so their language also doesn't have vowels. I should make a thread about it sometime.

(I made the Lord's Prayer in my new conlang, Vrkhazhi which sounds shamefully stilted and unflowing...)

Vrkhazhi Lord's Prayer:
Noša Pḫaẕa kten yot īz Ḫalka,
Yot īzmet hēšof kēha gamat,
Kēha Vīkīmša īzmet pētoč,
Kēha vīḵa yot īzmet yanek,
Daš Zaḵūm ḵma ḫol yot īz Ḫalka.
Īzmet danov sav īmẕwē noša ẕwēyīn ḵūpat.
Īzmet pēqod sav noša visanšī,
Ḵma ya pēqod īmka kten sēnoš pūktev sav.
Vēton nēyīd sav īzam sovtem,
Na īzmet nēčok sav tīḵ miẕoyt.
Dal Vīkīmša, baseb ak sajba, yot kēha, sēḫ ak anšavka.
Az Takad.

Arkhean's Lord's Prayer:
Nóčij Paža kteňo ýz Helyka,
Do-savýqa kéa imjót,
Kéa Vikomšar ptača,
Kéa výšů takadů džno,
Daš Zǩamů výk zos ýz Helyka.
Davja savýt žjar-zéj nóčij zéýna ǩapot.
Pšenqa savýt nóčij seňa,
Výk ja pšenka žjéča kte seňa paktýv savýt.
Vetňa néd savýt rýňů sovýća,
Na nýčkoja savýt tiků sokýnij.
Dŀa Vikomšar, kédij ý slava, avarkéj kýra, séýča ý nazvakéj.
Aýz Takadij.

English:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be thy name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us each day our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and for ever.
Amen.

At McDonalds without my notes so can't write in a conlang -- it does distinguish /x h/, but doesn't distinguish /h 0/. Stacks characters into syllables, though some common morphemes have one-character representations (=an topic marker is written as /n/, ḩa-/m- past tense marker is written as a bar over (but ḩa- in 'ḩalattw' isn't), not sure what to do with -cera yet but -ra is just written /ra/). Reads left to right.

How common are spaces anyway?

Was going to say it's basically Tibetan but Tibetan is an abugida. Are there any syllabaries that work like that?

Going to add ideographic elements; I had some in a binder somewhere but I forgot them.

Phrase-level syllabification? Amqoli does that. I think it does anyway; haven't really worked out the phonology much. (Well, epenthetic vowel insertion is phrase-level: bgul [bəguɫ], ebgul [ebguɫ], but tsaxe bgul [tsaxebguɫ]; ldamu [l̩damu], eldamu [eldamu], tsaxe ldamu [tsaxeldamu].) Or are they just odd clusters that always fit into one phonetic syllable?
