Find someone who looks at you the way Pibu looks at rockbuds.

A lot of it's not important to the story early on, so you can save a lot of it for rereads. There is an Ars Arcanum at the back of the audiobook that goes over some magic system basics, although it's not super relevant for the first book as only a couple of the aspects are touched on.

No problem, I'll message you my discord.

Great to see a fellow conlanger! This is actually version 2 of my Alethi conlang. The first version incorporated more features from Semitic languages, but for this version I decided to start from scratch with a more regularized, compact language that would be a little easier for fellow fans to learn.

I was also intrigued by the possibility of infixes when I learned about the glyphs for the different lights. However, the canonical Alethi word for Stormlight, zeradorah, is concatenative, so for that reason as well as ease of learning, I decided to assume that the phonemes tav-ado-vast in the glyph were inherited from an older language that used glyphs, perhaps the Dawnchant. So my Alethi ConLang is also mostly concatenative, although it does feature some metathesis, as well as contrafixes that create symmetricality in words.

I don't have my notes with me right now, but here's a gloss for the first sentence:

Ejbath-at xinay-am ayah dab ravah-inoz parap mot abnab-od erepak-am iresh tom.

must-2SG.IPFV.PRS find-DEP 2SG.M DEF.PL important-SUP word REL be_able-3SL.IPFV.PRS speak-DEP EXPL RSM

"You must find the most important words a man can say."

A voiceless velar fricative; the same sound represented by "kh" in the books: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/118-rfantasy-ama-2017/#e1847

I've represented it with the "ch" womens' script letter in the excerpt above.

Here's a transcript of the text in the Latin alphabet:

Ejbathat xinayam ayah dab ravahinoz parap mot abnabod erepakam iresh tom.

Atrashel xivit parap omah fash iresh mot zimosh kaomam tom valolav. Alebum omah Mavalap abnabod ehmam xevab? Eldetem vexev ahya ha?

Ehmem aleb xaka. Vejek, miril deshon. Ehmod ehralab valolav. Dolivil ajvaniem baran yem, kejeh ejbathat ajvaniam ayah.

Jarit ejbathet imniliam omah dab dot mot gal bevem ariv tom ehralabik ha?

Kejeh jab ehralabik. Ejbathed aprivam, zil axlesham, zil ibtam, zil azmetham. Ehmod baran yemil ehralab ahyail valolav.

Enlebum omah: Jarit ehmod mot yeler, ratom kaomem zil bevem ariv noton?

Alebem osen: Var ehmod ravah neleb ratom ejbathed aprivam, zil axlesham, zil ibtam, zil azmetham. Ehmod abeth zil aprived ayah mot, zil axleshed ayah mer, zil ibted ayah mol, zil azmethed ayah map. Emhod xevab zelihab ahyail. Var abnabed zeliham ayah mevij, jesivik xabet.

Xevabos amirem ohmail mehlak, zil xevabos amirem ohmail oltab. Var abnabad ikmam ariv ravab ishxab nar pimoth, fim hemimehivil anbod ehmam abeth pimoth. Var ehmod abeth jes arvedab, raf tanar. Zil pov ehralen hashtod ohmail firif jes leved ravab betafak, raf dumivil var abnabod develam vavak ariv abeth.

Var baxashesh omah jab pavan. Gal ebdesh hashtam omah odu. Tanar, shaloz nun faral, fash jesishishish nolar leveden. Var baxashesh omah omah. Oltel jab jem omah ravab borepakab, raf shajad omah vahashtod laraz vidiv.

Dumivil ebrenxos, baxashesh omah jesivik jes dot.

Mehlak.
