conworkshop translations

Below are several Sanila sentences I posted on ConWorkShop, back when I was gravitated to the idea of shoving all my conlangs into contrived and failable pieces of software instead of just writing documents about them. These were written in chronological order from Febuary 2018 to February 2019, and as such are written in an older version of the language (and some also contain errors), so they have been altered to conform to modern Sanila.
