About "About Clara"

This was a fun text to write, mainly because I wanted it to sound somewhat childish and/or written by someone not so experienced in Allun (me). Here are the words I invented for the cause:
hevumen - haired (hiodehevumen - redhaired), follows the -n/-s endings for fem and masc
ungoihevu - eyebrow, from ung (over) + oi (eye) + hevu (hair), which is pretty logic
laha [lahag~] - slender
leis [leigs~] - leg
leia - legs, in dual, a more colloquial word, often used to talk about animal legs (similar in meaning to french pattes)
oiglos - breast, body (I actually took it from jullur....)
-pogsis - an adjective suffix similar to english -ful or -some, so I made the word
hegospogsis - feminine - the suffix comes from pogn, meaning ammount
sogo - cute (more formally, songis)
leisperi - (legbridge) hips
ehotta - and not (analoge to otti, but instead of oi it is eho)
ummonde/ungmonde - ahead, from ungen + monis [monid~] - overmount(ain)
motta - if not (moi + ůt)
endehgin - matter (it doesn't matter -
ůt endehgine) from end (between) and ehgin (slice, cut).

Otherwise, the text was fairly easy. One difficulty was deciding whether the say "the time when" with dative or just a regular neutar referencial pronoun. I chose to use dative "hemon, dos". I had sometimes trouble knowing when to differenciate the two and's (oi and eho), but I think it's ok. The more I use Allun, the more I like it!
