Very agglutinating and very agnostic towards word types (think: weak typing from programming languages). Rejistanian uses state verbs (frex: to be blue) and Rejistanian uses verb-agglutination semi-productively (I put the 2 constituent verbs into the gloss, but it is very regular).

Notes
Basic ideas behind Rejistanian: word order: SVO, very fixed. Actually so fixed that it is impossible to front a place or a time and this, if desired, is done pragmatically (via 'kidhi). Very agglutinating and very agnostic towards word types (think: weak typing from programming languages). Rejistanian uses state verbs (frex: to be blue) and Rejistanian uses verb-agglutination semi-productively (I put the 2 constituent verbs into the gloss, but it is very regular). Adjectives, adverbs and noun adjuncts follow the word they modify!
Like my predecessor, I have used slashes to differenciate distinct meanings ie, I'd gloss blue as blue_color/sad.
SUBJ refers to something which I gloss as Subjunctive even though it is not quite like that. This text only contains meshi (glossed as SUBJ) which means something is a matter of likelyhood (instead of impossibility or certitude) but the speaker cannot say how likely it is.
For Rejistanis, future and past are very distinct and marked in various words about time like (later, always, never, etc).
Abbreviation guide
1S: first person sing.
1PL: first person plural
2S: second person singular
3S: third person sing.
3PL: third person plural
ABL: ablative case (origin of movement)
ALL: allative case (direction of movement, but also used for benefactive meanings)
FUT: future tense
LOC: locative case
POSS: possessive (the possessed object is marked in a kind of reverse genitive: Syku's car -> car-POSS3S Syku) will take the grammatical person of the object
SUBJ: subjunctive (see above)
TEMP: temporal case
