Neither does Kélen:
"The name Kélen comes from the root -kél-, which refers to crafts and
artistry. This could be taken as a reference to the guilds which are
such an important part of Kélen life. Or, it could refer to the
creation myth wherein the Kélen people are crafted by the local
deities or by jannárien into what they are today." (from the
soc/culture page)
The word for language is antaxóni, and for conlang is antaxóníki.
