Languages

The seamsters who sew clothes worn by concepts

Overview

Some say that Languages were the first people of Bakuh. Since then, they have built outposts all around Bakuh.

Most languages live alone in spherical huts formed from fallen meteors. Languages sew clothes made out of morphemes glued in a paste made out of letters and sound. The clothes help concepts identify and relate to each other.

Languages communicate with each other through small fireplaces they keep in their houses. The fireplaces are nurtured by History, the dragon who gets recalled, but can't be remembered.

Verbs

The Languages keep verbs or prisms made of egg shells in their attics. Languages acquire the eggs throughout their life. By massaging the eggs, Languages see the location of unobtained synonyms.

The Weave

Languages have contraptions they use to weave. As the contraption moves, it shoots out webs of tiny nebulas called connotations. This prevents English and the other languages to have the naming of one concept interfere with the naming of another concept. Concepts, when woven with the same morphemes, are bound to each other. When light shines on a concept's clothes, the clothes of another concept might shine as well.

Languages like to sew with contraptions built by Semiotics, a brand of sewing machines. They get material for their clothes from the Alphabets. The Alphabets also export material to the Units, gods who live in Tti, and Notation, who keeps a country house in Kukulkan.

Thoughts

Each language has a different way of casting a thought. For example, English casts it as Noun - Verb - Object, while Japanese casts it as Noun - Object - Verb. As the thought gets cast, the spell gets wrapped by a layer of Predicate which defines at what time something is occurring.
