Magzhelyagon speakers are human, but Huna is a slightly differs in many
details from Earth. I'm beginning to entertain the idea that Huna's
language universals are slightly different from ours - it would certainly
explain why Khangaþyagon, the ultimate ancestral language of Huna, breaks
so many of our universals.

I arrived at Magzhelyagon's clicks by experimentation - I tried making
clicks to see what I could come up with. I haven't worked out how they fit
into connected speech yet.

By the way, can you explain a bit more about click accompaniments? It will
be useful for me when I come to develop Magzhelyagon further.
