I completely forgot about this [:D] I will probably mostly create nouns because they're just plain better than verbs:

1st

eíter /'ei̯.tɛr/ - (athem. adj.) single, the one

2nd

láfuras /'la.fu.ras/- (them. masc.) jay (bird), bluejay

3rd

haúkus /'xau̯.kus/ - (masc. u-stem) flame

4th

lūden /'luː.dɛn/ - (adv.) almost, just about, nearly


All words are Lihmelinyan because...it's my only conlang [xD]

Your eyes are beautiful (diminutive).
This would generally be said to a kid or someone you know very well. The nací "tongỳg" usually refers to food but can be a sort of diminutive compliment when referring to a person or a feature of a person.

A more informal way to say this would simply be “Kìtongỳgytútùma.” The second person can be used when referring to a part of someone's body, personality, etc.
