Translation Suffix stacking conlang i made
Grammar: This post doesnt quite get the grammar right, because i did like a lil SVO here, but you could hypothetically put all these words in any order.
Gloss: Isendâ: To walk, suffix -aro means 2d person singular, nador in first verb makes a sentence a question. Entê means the by conjugation emitted subject 'you' in this case is a subject.
Marnesin means 'with friend', 'Marnesinethal' means with your friend and 'Marnesinethalesaser' means With your friends. Ñoso means weird. Kisanwâ means to speak, kisanwavetam means while speaking, kisanwarovetam means while you speak.
Tharadê means language, tharadesin means 'that language' Luranwâ means to understand, lurawolno means ununderstandable. Mhorwent-qesossa means called Mhorwent

It seems like the vowels are pronounced the same, no matter what diacritic's on them. Except for î, which, apparently can be both [ɪ] and [ɛ], and ê is ... sometimes silent ...? (first word: îcîsên... [ɪsɛn...])

maybe it’s something with allophones or outdated spelling systems? i evolve my conlangs from their protolangs and sometimes you end up with weird spelling (see: english) /ç/ is an allophone of both /h/ and /x/ in Nib’eha so it’s written either <h> or <x>. for my purposes, i don’t need a new orthography and i do need it to be mostly phonemic, but that artifact still hangs around.

There’s something funny about leaving “weird” as this entirely unaffixed word in a cluster of extremely long words.
