In any case, whatever comes out of the revision will be better than the best available documentation for ea-luna. For instance, the ENTIRE documentation for ea-luna verbs is this:
On an different, but perhaps not wholly unrelated, note, the Nevashi word du jour, newly minted just this morning, is semosva, "procrastination" (or, more literally, "not-doing-ness"), which is just shy of simosva, "laziness".
(ma/buna) (ae/ewe) (ema/ide) (eni) (uma/punu/bana)That makes perfect sense to me, but it really doesn't tell anyone else much of anything useful. That's what I am working from on my end, though, for most of my languages-- just a cheat sheet for my own benefit that needs to be expanded and explained before it is fit for public consumption.

I'm glad to hear it! I forget if I ever told you, but ea-luna was always one of my favorite conlangs (from the early days). It inspired Kamakawi. It was the first time I thought, "Wait a minute... I can make a language look the way I want it to look." Can't wait for the new grammar. :)
I do believe you'd mentioned that ea-luna was an inspiration for Kamakawi. And that's the best kind of flattery. ;)
I see a lot I'd have done differently with ea-luna now, but it's too old and set in its ways to change much at this point. I've recently started playing with it a bit more, and despite its flaws, it still makes me happy.
I hope to have the grammar re-write done before my annual State of the Language post in January.
