Reverse Lojban (Kithwluremus)

Kithwluremus or Reverse Lojban is exactly what it says on the Tin. Being the exact opposite of Lojban in terms of its goals, a Non-International illogical Language.

Phonology
I wanted to balance Non-Internationality with Naturalism, which unsurprisingly isn’t that hard. I originally wanted to inspire it off some of the least spoken languages but decided instead to use  Extinct Languages  as an inspiration, I ended up going with Tocharian, Gothic, and Ancient Egyptian.

In the Phonotactics department, it has little to no rules on Consonant Clustering aside from Stop, Fricative, Fricative-Stop, and Stop-Fricative Clusters being banned.

Syntax
Rather than having a distinct word order, Reverse Kiba uses volume to distinguish Subject, Verb, and Object. The subject being the Loudest, Verb being in the middle, and Object being Soft.

Adjectives and Adpositions are the same volume as the part they are altering, this system is also used with Possession. With the possessee being the same volume as the Possesser.

I decided to make a bunch of conjunctions that represent relations between concepts in a sentence. These being + (Positive Relation), - (Negative Relation), ± (Unclear/Neutral Relation). Positive Relations can either mean "you enjoyed doing x" or mark the Indicative Mood. The can mean negative "I did not enjoy doing x" or "I didn't do x". And ± can mark the Irrealis Moods, and "I am neutral about this" essentially just a neutral Indicative. The volume of these is the same as the Verbs, as they are always placed right before or after them.

There are other less important Conjunctions such as ⊂, which just means and, ∉ which is nor, and ∁ means but. ∝ means of (It's also technically a verb). And ∥ is or.

Here's a table of the words for these conjunctions. Note: The symbols are only used in gloss and (Optionally in) English translation

Grammar
I decided to make a general Principle for Grammar, Lojban is a Language of Regularity, Literalism, and Logic. Reverse Lojban is a Language of Ambiguity, Metaphor, and Emotion.

So I started with the Verbs, I decided Reverse Lojban should be Tenseless and Aspectless instead of using words like Yesterday, Tomorrow, etc. However, you can tell the valency of a verb through one of 2 Ways.

-ko /kɔ/ "Subject Verb using Object" Implies the Subject used the Object in some abstract way, like using the bridge to walk, or Using a bed to sleep. Converts Intransitive Verbs into Transitive Ones.

-raf /raf/ "Subject Verbraf" It implies the existence of an Object, which can usually be inferred through context. Used to convert Transitive Verbs to Intransitive Ones.

Sticking to the "General Principle" I decided to make there 4 Moods. Optative, Subjunctive, and Necessitative (The irrealis marked by ±), as well as an Indicative marked by + (And optionally ± for neutrality about doing x).

As already stated in the Syntax, nouns are distinguished using Volume.

And Reverse Lojban has no Articles.

Vocabulary
This was the fun part. The way I made most of the Root Vocabulary is to take the word for that in the 3 core languages (Tocharian, Gothic, and Ancient Egyptian) and run them through Atlas, which is a very useful conlanging tool.

I derived most of my words using Metaphor and other figures of speech. Such as the word for Heel, which is "Achilles Weakness" and the word for Airplane "Brother's Machine"

And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
