First I gotta say, it really cool that you're juggling both Thedish and Gan Vei.
Thank you! I knew I wanted to try to do two entries, one a priori and one a posteriori, every day, since I have plenty of ideas for both kinds. My plan was to switch between different a priori and a posteriori languages throughout the month, but so far it's just been easiest to stick with the two I started with.
And likewise, of course, since you're working with 3 conlangs + Sardinian!

Second, I was reading this and realized that I had completely forgotten about classifiers in the Hlai-like A Priori, and the Hlai-lang A Posteriori. It's cool that you're really making this language work together. It feels authentic, and "real".
I was actually debating whether or not to have them in this language at all for a bit, since I don't want it to draw inspiration too heavily or exclusively from East/Southeast Asian natlangs, but I do quite like numeral classifiers, so here we are.
And thank you, that's very nice of you to say! I must admit I'm not quite satisfied with how it's turning out aesthetically, but I'm going to stick with it for a little while longer before making any major adjustments.
