Yahzick means "tongue". I don't seem to recall any examples of it being
used in the sense of "language", but perhaps it could. There isn't,
after all, any talk about languages in the book, only some references to
different ways of using English.
Maybe both words could be used for some variety:
Tolchok like yahzick death ... invent a goloss!
