You may not know that I've been working on a conlang called Nimyad for the last twenty-odd years. Names like "tajasel" and "firinel" and "marnanel" are words from this conlang. I worry that I don't know enough linguistics-- that things I want to do in Nimyad aren't *really* how a language would work. Also, I haven't worked on it in the last couple of years as much as I should have.
I would like to rectify this. Five is a special number in Nimyad. By this time next year, I would like to have done five things:

I would like to rectify this. Five is a special number in Nimyad. By this time next year, I would like to have done five things:
- Finished the conscript (the canonical way to write down Nimyad words);
- Have a lexicon with at least a thousand words in it (the current one I'm working with has perhaps a hundred);
- Have written a comprehensive grammar;
- Have written a primer (i.e. a text to teach people Nimyad);
- Have translated the entire Gospel of Mark as a demonstration text. But feel free to advocate for other texts.
