About Poatenese
The culmination of several smaller ideas into one grand scheme.
This language features:
Analytical pronouns. Simply list all the persons involved to construct any plural, i.e. 1+2 vs 1+3
Iterative verb conjugation. No verb is truly conjugated, all verbs are prefixed by the word "to be", which itself is conjugated, and these prefixes can be iterated (i.e. i will have been about to start walking) with no resistance, as all versions of "to be" are monosyllabic, with very simple CV syllables.
Very clear clause nesting. To learn why, read the relevant article.
