I'm comfortable with having conjugation/declension to be done at the beginning/ends of words.
Some potential nominative forms (again with the same list + a couple more, sorry, I'm boring)
Word - beris Earth - tarn Father - pasi Mother - mera Son - idu Daughter - ida Food - suxa Hair - seyo Water - abez Sand - selez Dirt - mwelez
The endings are inconsistent, and I'm totally open to feedback and all

Now that we have some substantial pronunciation, let's get started on vocabulary!
Here's some of the ideas from earlier, in both consonant root form and the other form that they were in before.
Word - ber-/B-R-S Earth - terr-/T-R-N Language - Terris (?) Father - pas-/P-S-M Mother - mer-/M-R-M or M-S-M Son - id-/-D-H Daughter - id-a/-D-AH Food - su-/S-D-L
proposal: earth - tarn of earth / like earth / belonging to earth (?) - tarnuu our language (nominalised form of that last one) - tarnuun How would a double u be pronounced? just longer ([uː])

We have decided on a phonology and an orthography, but what about phonotactics? I think we need to decide what syllable structures are allowed and what sounds are allowed to appear next to each other before we get too carried away with vocabulary.

Yes, good idea. Do you have any ideas? I can write something up and post it in another thread and see how people like it or want something else. I'll make it so that all words people have come up with are allowed and we don't need to undo anything.

Roman numerals are not great but something similar

Roman numerals are not great but something similar I meant, base-10, base-12, base-14? Also, how irregular should the number words be? E.g. Mandarin has very regular numbers--11 is ten-one, 17 is ten-seven, 34 is three-ten-four, etc. English is less regular, and French is even less regular than English.

I thing regular numbers with contractions is fine

I thing regular numbers with contractions is fine I like the contractions idea. How about this: 11. jaym 12. jwal 13. jecon 14. jevlare 15. jegol 16. jefwocp 17. jeyav 18. jemeqod 19. jemirj 20. waloj I'm not absolutely married to those number names though--TBH, they might be a bit heavy on the consonants.

Yeah, I think "jefwocp" might be a little much. How about fwe for 6, and qat for 8? and thus, "jofwe" (jefwe sounds weird) and "jeqat"

While I did create the above numbers, I would actually prefer something a little more irregular for the 11-20 numbers.
Also I'm starting to want to keep fwocp actually.

I like it. I'm not sure I understand the "etc." after 22, though, since "waym, walawal" doesn't appear to follow a pattern.
