I have no idea what I'm doing

Yeah, it's another old meme reference. This one's been stuck in my head for weeks, and I'm at a loss on how to translate it into Commonthroat. The way in which you form relative clauses is currently in flux, and I don't yet have a word for "to do" (is that a universal thing?), but I think I can pull it off thus:

smrnl GJ
smrn-l GJ-0
not_know-1 work-A
I work without knowing
Or more literally
I, the unknowing one, work/make.

You could also say

GJ-l smrn-0
work-1 not_know-A
I, the worker/maker, do not know.

smrn = sm- (un-) + rn (know). To not know, be ignorant.
