Which conlangs are you working on and/or still plan to work on?

Somewhat inspired by Arayaz's recentish thread about our conlanging-keeping habits. Hopefully this can be a place where people can talk about our main conlangs without feeling the pressure of needing to describe it in detail! I never post about my conlangs for instance bc I feel like either I don't ...

Re: Deictic particles in Mayan

Split demonstrative phrases are the norm in Celtic languages as well, although there are distinct demonstrative pronouns for 'this' and 'that'. However the colloquial Welsh has become similar to the German in that the distinct demonstrative pronouns (hwn/hon/hwnnw/honno/hyn/hynnny) are more often re...

Coptic ⲙⲏⲣ (mēr) "desert" vs. French mer "sea"
Spoiler:
OEgp mrw *mūraw > *mēr > Copt mēr
PIE *mori > PIt *mari > Lat mare > Fr mer
Conversely, Egyptian dšrt "the Egyptian desert" and Pan-Euro desert- (Latinate in origin) are false cognates.

Re: Are you happy to see me?

This sentence makes remarkably little sense in Rireinu culture since all Rireinukave are anatomically female (the males of the species are non-sapient so are tacitly ignored) so the subtext is completely lost. Maybe a more gender-neutral one would be something like "do you have a fever", ...
