We've generated quite a few words at this point, so if you'd like to test them out in some sentences, here's a place to do it. We could carry over the word association theme and each person could contribute a sentence inspired by the one before...
(If nobody contributes a starting sentence, I'll do that tomorrow. But do jump in if you've got one in mind.)

Im using the case morphology discussed in the trimoraic roots thread, but ignoring the fact that the roots aren't trimoraic, the morphology works anyhow.

ji likaus kalikaula. = I work (with) a computer.
I've used ji = I from another thread; I hope I remembered that right.
I've appended s to the stem likau to mark it as the verb in the clause.
I've not used any kind of determiner nor plurosingular marker on kalikaula, so it's singular, and its definiteness is unstated.
I've not used any preposition between the verb and the object; it's unclear what it would be, or whether as a verb kilaus would be transitive and thus not need any preposition.
