Some comments in no particular order: I wonder why the -a dropped off of profeta -- the -a was pretty engrained in that kind of word. The rather conservative form Deus is unusual -- though I think it's normal in Ptg. (?) She can't quite settle on a 3s of be. At one time it's son (must come from the 3pl -- very strange, since the other 3s forms like creava derive neatly from older 3s forms -- and then later it's sona. The single form article il / un must be an Arabic influence, as is the convention of using a dash. Spellings with K in stead of C is just plain wrong for Romance. ;) I'd have prefered Q to K! Looks like the past pples have been levelled to a single form in -ada; and ones that are usually irregular like construir have been regularised. I'm terribly relieved it's not an Auxlang. Lua has to be Italian (?). I assume "tal" and "derivanda" are errors for "en" and "derivada". It's very readable: apart from a "common stock" of modern Islamic terms, like shahada and Allah, and the surface affectation of attaching the article to the noun with a dash, I don't detect anything particularly Semitic. Even the sounds are pretty standard Romance. > Now, what do you think of it? Pretty cool. I get the idea that the author is not familiar with Romance languages -- but I could be wrong. A fuller description would have been nice too.
