Basicaly for ease of machinability.  We did develop an alphabet, but
it's really only intended for use in drawings (my friend is a good
artist when he wants to be...)

It's because of the history of that species.  A long time ago, they were
virtually exterminated by those arrogant humans, the Koplushians. I
thought that perhaps one major language group of the species survived
and that could have been regularized over time.  The grammar coding
itself reflects more or less how we create adverbs in English by adding
-ly.  Don't forget that some of the breehah words start out as adverbs,
nouns, adjectives, etc and they don't need a coding unless they are used
as something else.
