Thanks for telling me about the leipzig glosses, I've sen them so many times but had no idea how to use them. I'm not sure id it would be a good idea to nominate behru cesik now, i'm considering completely redoing it again after reading through some more inuktitut grammars.

Understandable, I've been there once or twice though I think Fén is stable now so I'm putting my desire to tweak things into new languages. I want to clean up Cwengâr for nominations as well and then I intend to work on a distant more Romantic/Latinate cousin and the more Fusional/Synthetic one that I requested your collaboration on earlier.
[http://www.eva.mpg.de/lingua/resources/glossing-rules.php The glossing rules are listed out here, if you are interested.] I had some trouble with it at first, but it's not too bad if you're willing to read it out. You might skim over the Fén Ghír page and [http://linguifex.com/index.php?title=Umbrean/Examples Zelo's Umbrean Examples] for simplified transcriptions, I use it pretty sparingly so that might be helpful to show the fuctions of it while Zelos has a much less isolating language which is helpful to show individual functions but I feel like he over uses it.
If you have any questions or want me to look over/help with the page, I'd be happy to give word.
Cheers,

== Nominationes! ==
<wikiforumthread id=37 />
== Bizarre idioms ==
In considering the origins of the Behru and related peoples, I've had some fun thinking about how their language will change. The progenitors of the Behru, the Ae, are refugees from an almost succesful genocide that almost completely destroyed a complex civilization over 60,000 years old, killing trillions. Since the remaining survivors speak a language made for a high-tech utopia and have been reduced to the stone age, their language is gonna have a lot of weird idioms. Perhaps their verb for "to ride an elevator, train" will become "to ride a floating object, raft", and eventually "to sail", once advanced watercraft have been reinvented. "to fly on an aircraft" would probably become "to travel, go somewhere distant". "to message, text" would probably become "to pass along, speak in private". "to shop, purchase" might become "to pluck, grasp", productive foraging regions might be called "markets". Their culture is going to be really weird, they'll be paleolithic hunter-gatherers with an easily learned writing system, allowing much of the paleolithic period to be preserved in writing, and since the Behru have indefinite lifespans, there might be a few lucky people who manage to survive for thousands of years and be living historians.
