"lu" is a sentential enclitic that marks emphasis. It is often used to allow indefinite subjects by creating cleft sentences.

I am quite fond of interdental fricatives, and I find thorn aesthetic for writing the voiceless fricative in a single character.

This is an interesting construction, "guud oder nicht skain", because of the bare "nicht" in front of the verb.

... of hit guud skain, oder nicht seems the most natural to me. A phrase introduced by a conjunction can easily go into the Nachfeld. In German ob es gut/schön ist/aussieht, oder nicht is the most natural word order.

I remember in a German class years ago, someone kept trying to say ob oder nicht ... at the beginning of a clause because whether or not is a thing in English.

Travis's language reminds me of Pennsylvania German because it's a bit influenced by English.

We can only see that because we know other West Germanic languages.

With a priori languages, it's not so easy for others to recognise whether it is or it isn't.

I sometimes see that an a priori conlang has one word which is both a relative pronoun and the subordinator/complementiser, and I wonder whether its creator knows only English and a Romance language.

Don't judge Travis's language.

None of us know whether what you write is anything other than meaningless slop.

I meant that about your conlang. When you write the English, you're quite poetic.
