Yay! I just wrote something in the Archaic Speech, that isn't an example sentence, for the first time!)

(And yes, that sentence was 17 words long in English and only 4 words long in Kinuiltys. I love that.)

Personally, I like it when you've gotten so little sleep that your thoughts get strange.

[As for me], like TOP=I COP=time when COND=sleep little PST RES=become P=thoughts COP=strange.

Hope the gloss makes sense; some of those standard abbreviations don't get across exactly the right meaning.
