Ah, indeed. If I am remembering things correctly, I was like “huh, so there are a lot of things I need to learn about languages in order to pull this off, but where do I start?” I guess I could have just started with what I know, adapting my native language’s verb system and fusing it with Esperanto’s word-building mechanism, which would have made things really agglutinative with affixes for the verb’s tense, mood, and whatnot with roots that can themselves be combinations of simpler roots. Like, I guess ++[ + ... + ]+. However, considering how little I know of the actual machinations of my native language’s verb system…
It’s also a shame that I was already six years into a five year course when I even had a clue I was into this. Am I just making excuses for myself? Likely. But yeah.
