I've been working on the construction of a new language (using the
Language Construction Kit[1] as a guide); the purpose is yet unknown, but
should I want a language for a story or world or what-not, I'll have
one. :)

It's an agglutinative language: pronouns are prepended to the verb root,
and the verb mode is appended to the verb root; prepositions are appended
to the noun (much like in Quenya). The selection of vowel sounds is quite
appealing to me (it should be, I chose it!).

If anyone would like to help me flesh out some details, I have a rule set,
a small word (mostly affixes!) list, and a few verbs.

It's at:
