II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.

Adjectives had two declensions:
#a declension following the original PIE adjective declension, and
#a declension using the n-stem declension.
The second declension was used for attributive adjectives, and the first declension was used for predicative adjectives and circumstantial adjective phrases.

Þanne sagiden hrussy: "Hauri, skēp! Herta unsь darjьþь þana sewъndъmъ: guma, druhten, ūtъ skēpъs wullai wurkiþь sir warmъnъ klyþъ; auk skēpъ wulla ne hafyþь." Þat hauridъ, flauh skēpъ þurh akrъ.
