For most, it’s similar to a business-client relationship.

I like this idea.

I am bad at maps but I would like to request an oasis close to some caves in a desert that is mountaneous but reasonably close to some potentially urban area.

yes, no, no

These (nominal forns) are often called relational nouns. Indonesian has them (very productively and regularly):

di mobil
at car
'in/at/on/by/ the car'

di dalam mobil
at inside car
'in the car'

di atas mobil
at top car
'on (top of) the car'

My Kobardon grammar has 43.5 pages, my word list has 15 pages. There are still gaps and I feel like I need to coin new words and make new decisions about the grammar everytime I translate a new sentence. Other people seem to have less of a problem. I might just be overthinking stuff. My grammar incl...

I don't know. How does it work?

Looks great so far. The only issue I had is that it didn't scale properly on my phone, making it look squished.

I always wanted to include an irrealis article in some conlang. It apparently exists in some natlangs, including Biak, where it is used in the scope of negation, e.g. "I never saw [a boat] here." and in hypotheticals, e.g. "If I had [an apple], I wouldn't be hungry."
