'Those who make languages everywhere, make!'

Hmm. That's interesting. I had to make up a word for language, having not had one
before, strangely enough. It means 'thought-sharing', because the Koriéth (the
Elé-speakers) have a tactile sign-language for places where speech would be
disrespectful, so they think of language as simply a means of sharing the
thoughts.

Sorry. Burst into creative flow there...
