My apartment is filthy. I need to clean it up.

I havent done any significant work on Poswa in three months, so Im starting to forget basic things. This is the best I can do right now. The 1P-GEN-3P thing is how inanimate objects get promoted to animate, which is necessary even for some intransitive verbs.

• The word mainvick comes from Latin magnificus. There is also a Latin cognate in Camrish, magnifick, which means magnificent.

Sajiwan was born some time during 2014, as a fake Jamaican, and therefore five years old as well. Alũbetah was created during November/December 2009, and therefore ten years old. Kotane is much older than that, born in the 80s and mostly worked on during the 90s. The last time I worked on it was the summer of 2009.

Kala is about ten years old.

But, I've been conlanging for more than 30 years.

One caveat; the first 5 years or so was more like con-ciphering...and a shit-ton of scripting.
