The morphology of Chlouvānem is very different from Laceyiam, though many words are still the same (like ''smrāṇa'' (spring), ''junai'' (foot), ''jāyim'' (girl), ''saṃhāram'' (boy)).

The name of the people in the language itself used to have ''-ou-'' too, but then I changed historical phonology just enough that it caused that to become ''-ǣ-''. Still I kept ''-ou-'' in the English name as I had used it too much and for too long in order to change it so easily. Ever since creating Chlouvānem, I've made quite a few alterations every now and then, most of them small but eventually making very older versions quite different. Compare, for example, the Chlouvānem translation of Schleicher's Fable: the version in the middle is an early one I have no date for, but must be from January or February 2017. The version on the right is in Chlouvānem as it is now (translated in October 2018) - and aside from the changes in morphology, syntax, and lexicon, is also less of a literal translation. On the left, I put my last Laceyiam version of the same text I translated (20 November 2016) before rebooting it as Chlouvānem:

[[Laceyiam]] before being rebooted as Chlouvānem (November 2016):

Chlouvānem as it was in early 2017:

Chlouvānem as it is today:

Chlouvānem is mainly thought for my conworld, but more than any other conlang of mine it is quite on the border between an art- and a heartlang.
