http://www.freewebs.com/pmivizchpeginokibivech/ - there's my site for it.

The name is also the name off the language, meaning: Without the two green cats at three o'clock P.M.

So... I have really litte idea for this language, just that I wanna make it very morphologically...

So... Now for some notes...

...

All root words will be monosyllabic, and can only start with h, k, l, t, s, and r. Nothing else can have these letters in them... Yeah.

Masculine gender is indicated by a prefix, -u. Gender is applied to nouns adjectives and verbs, as is number. When a masculine noun is used with a definite article, the prefix en- is added. indefinite article is indicated with the prefix den- .

Feminine gender is indicated with the suffix -ezch (esh), and the indefinite article is mecq- (mek), and the definite article is no- .

Neuter forms are the same as masculine, only changing with number.

Cases:


Ignore the stuff in this post and just got to the website...

Cool! But it looks like it would be a pain in the a** to pronounce it.

I was going to add different forms of respect, which would then alter tehn nouns AND the verb, but I figured, with fourteen different cases, and with 35 different persons, that was enough.

Just for those who enjoy a cahllenge of a language:

This language has:

11 different pronouns
3 genders each with two different articles and a needed suffix
3 infinitive verb endings (like in Spanish -ar, -ir, and -er)
221 different verb conjugations for just one of those infinitive forms, so
663 conjugations in all (not including the infinitive itself)
15 add-on cases
weird pronunciation rules and orthography
3 different number forms: singular, dual and plural
Relatively stable VSO word order
and finally
Random syllable stress, (like English, in doesn't matter too much where you put the stress).

My brain will have melted by the time I finish, though...
