    No that’s extremely helpful. I might do some of the words that way, but I’m kinda trying to do it….maybe….more artistically than Latin. I admire Latin, I enjoy hearing Gregorian chants in Latin, but when I think of Latin, I think of a dry, earthy language. As I mentioned before, this one is meant to be silver-y, or smooth, if you know what I mean. Maybe you don’t, and I’m just crazy, but anyways you got me thinking on a idea. Many of my words intentionally start with ES. Maybe I could have that be the noun signifier but in this language it literally translates out to be ‘the story of.’

    for instance, Calas , would literally translate to ‘brilliant light, indescribable beauty, glory, etc but add ES before it and you get Escalas, the story of light, indescribable beauty, etc and in a artistic and perhaps stupid way that signifies the noun
