Huzzah! For my triumphant return, I shall post a poem I just composed about a king you may remember named Glāažun. It's the first thing I've done with Fỉšā in a while, and it feels good! Anyway, without further ado:
Nelešāma Glāažun
Ārno nelešāmaĉ Glāažun mentvỉ žar,
Hālo san emcarel canuvỉ carnoler fāž.
Morsen aluo reglorỏraĉ canlasvỉ fāž,
Šolngrỉonỏrao lāc istolỏr tỉlsỉtvỉ šān.
Gỉlsonỏrao musonār lac unorsār lārvỉ fāž,
Ỉterỏrao trỉsār lac ronolār lārvỉ fāž.
Laremao suhyalena dulrār lārvỉ lỉlỉser fāž.
Ŝalun ecvenỏr aluo voženvỉ fāž.
Tsārvỉ fāž, laremaĉ žoŝvỉ aluo.
The Song of Glāažun
Hear you now the song of Glāažun,
The man stood in battle bravely.
Often he defeated his enemies,
His victories number like the stars.
His walls were strong and white,
His fields were green and many.
The people of his land were good, happily.
Fifty years he reigned.
He died protecting his people.
I'll post a gloss tomorrow. For now, though, I'll say that poetry in Fỉšā doesn't rely on end sounds of lines since most lines end with a tense indicator that's usually the same. So I decided it would use the first vowel of each line to "rhyme". Also, it ends with a heroic singlet. (which sounds really funny, incidentally) In addition to the other also, I don't have enough of a lexicon to try and keep with any kind of meter.
Gloss: (Mp) means Masculine possessor, (DO) means Direct Object
Song(Mp) Glāažun
You(S) song(Mp DO) Glāažun to-hear imperative-indicator,
Man(S) in battle to-stand bravely past-ind.
Often he(S) enemies(Mp DO) to-defeat past-ind.
Victories(Mp S) like stars to-number present-ind.
Walls(Mp S) strong and white to-be past-ind.
Fields(Mp S) green and many to-be past-ind.
People(Mp S) lands(Mp) good to-be happily past-ind.
Fifty years he(S) to-reign past-ind.
To-die past-ind, people(Mp DO) to-protect he(S). _________________ Speak: English, Spanish

I think you should use some kind of English-ization for the pure English
Or, at least, please tell me how do you pronounce the name |

I second that. Showing pronunciation would be much appreciated. _________________ Bakram uso, mi abila, / del us bakrat, dahud bakrita! |

Your wish is my command.
Nele-they-ma-ch Glay-ah-thoon
Ayrno neledhaymach Glay-ah-thoon mentvee thahr
This is hard. Vowel sounds:
a = ah
ā = day
e = bed
i = it
ỉ = feet
o = so (without the "w" sound at the end)
ỏ = book
u = zoo
š = this (Š is the capital version)
ž = thing
ŝ - shoe
ĉ = chair
I'm from Indiana (Northern USA), so take that into account in your pronunciation. I suppose I should post an orthography on here, but I'm loth to try and decipher IPA tables...
Here's a link to a recording of the song.
