About Ulimi IAL work in progress. very organised, thus hopefully very learnable. Phonology should be simple for everyone. If not, thick accents (from the point of view of a native speaker of this lang) should be easily understandable.

Adding si- to any word makes it a noun.
Adding de-,di-,do-, or da- makes it a verb.
Adding -a makes a noun plural.
Adding bwede- to a word (but after si-) means "one who [verb form of the word]s" and that is a noun. Adding -no negates a verb. You can say "no" by saying "no."
Add an unmarked word after a noun to get an adj.
Add an unmarked word after a verb to get an adv.
[Possessed] /de/ [possessor] shows genitive. [Possessor] does not use /si-/ because it is being used as an ADJ.
Proper nouns are capitalised after /si-/.

Infinitives(when used as nouns) and Gerunds are not expressed differently. So to say "I like running" or "I like to run" you would literally say
"I like (a) run(s)" or "I like go on (a) run(s)."
There is, however a large difference between "runner" and "running." That is why Bwede- exists.
