Talk:Balloonist language (Jem)

Someone should develop this into a full language :-D

Well, the root hu- or hu'- appears in both sentences. Perhaps it's a verbal base like Korean

-pnida or -eyo? And the word for "enemy" and "song" seem to be related.

Yes, hu is definitely a candidate for a verbal root. But regarding "enemy", I think the root-family is actually "iya" (creature), "iye" (vicious animal), "aye" (ha'aye'i specifically). I suppose the obvious thing to presume is that the middle "y" denotes animal, the last vowel denotes a friendliness-hostility spectrum, and the first vowel is some kind of identifier. But this ignores the other parts of the words...
