The same: E+U, O+A. Others remain as nominative) Sg. Instrumental (-NO) Pl. Nominative (-M, -OM or -EM) Pl. Ge...

...just post how YOU, yes YOU do past tense in any of your Conlangs, and please provide the prefix/suffix/particle if you use one. That's ALL I want you to do! I appreciate your trying to help, but I really do just want ideas from actual Conlangs. Selinki has 2 verb groups: ones, that end with LE i...

I'm probably a loyalist.
I have one conlang Selinki, although about 7-8 years ago I tried to make 3 more. I didn't like having more than one conlang, so I have only worked on one since then.

Selinki has influences of finno-ugric and slavic languages

Selinki is my first and only language.
I started it when I was 15 and I knew nothing about IPA or X-SAMPA for 9 years of conlanging. Everything was just based on estonian and russian pronunciation. Now I'm discovering my language :).
