Creation and Usage Notes

By Ozma's crown this language was cool! These pronouns are completely compositional, and yet you have a quartet like si'o, sa'oi, si'ka and sa'kí. Especially that last pair still excites me. It's like you just switch the vowels—and it all makes sense if you look at the etymologies! That's what gets me up in the morning. (lol Who am I kidding? Early afternoon. On a good day.)
