It's been three months since the last one, and both that one and the first one people managed to guess correctly right away without me needing to reveal the meanings of any words. Perhaps this will be the third time that happens, but if it isn't, then I should restate that the rule is that I can reveal the meanings of one word at a time, unless revealing a word would give away the meaning of the whole line.

At the bottom of this post you will find some other hints.

Please spoiler your answers so that others can make their own guesses.

Now, without further ado...

    Is "o-ge" a transliteration of "okay?"

    Can we ask about the grammar of the conlang? Is it SVO, SOV, an agglutinative language, does it have grammatical gender, and so on?

      I can't tell you what "o-ge" means since that would reveal the meaning of a whole line (I should've crossed it off in the word list to make that clearer), but I will say that you're wrong. Otherwise, you can get information about the grammar by asking about specific words. You might want to ask about the longer words appearing once specifically.
