illaniþ

Sentence #6:

te janaren ja temle ien illaniþ tema ien ñi sāen marō tō te jāo ewaþ tema jawōla to jaþīña illaniþ tema ien ñi sāen marō il tema jekīþa ien ē rēha la jalōna wījte jē nā rū xō rā annāmmi hi ñamma jatōna japōññe;
All he said to me: when first he perceived he was lost, because that it was even though he doubted his path, when first he perceived he was lost, he was certain that there were only three days from there to fresh water, if he found the road.

illaniþ is another clause-level modifier, and an il-word, meaning it has something to do with sequential time. In this case, the –aniþ part is related to the stem –ān– “one”. illaniþ refers to the first time, the beginning, the start.

il ñi jaraxēwa il ñamma jaxōsa jōrre;
Night came, and he stopped searching.

The next division of the day is jōrraxel, which is midnight until sunrise.

la jōrraxel jālne cī;
Have a good night.

The corresponding il phrase is il jōrraxel or il ōrraxel. The difference is a matter of dialect, or maybe idiolect.

The words jānnaxel and jōrraxel are related to the word for night jaxāela, and the words jānne “beginning” and anōrre “end”

lānnāl

lānnāl

We’re still on the fifteenth sentence of the 14th Conlang Relay Text:

sennete jālneha il jaliþa il lānnāl tēna ī;

and the next unblogged word we encounter lānnāl, which is a defective noun meaning “tomorrow”. It is always preceded by il since it is a time word. Here it is also modified by tēna which modifies sets and means “all”, and then comes the modifier ī, which means “also”.

“We give them (the couple) good fortune today and all tomorrows also.”

The last sentence tomorrow!
