Nice! Which one is which? I mean, ul = masc.sg., al = fem.sg., il = plur.?
This reminds me of my first attempts at conlanging ever: sometime in my early
teens, I think, I started making tables of a romlang. One of the things that I
remember, is that since Spanish has "el" and Italian has "il", in my opinion
there should also be a language that had "al" :))) .
Wenedyk has "il\" as a demonstrative pronoun (masc./neut.sg.), and it is
pronounced [iw].
