Introduction

A language spoken in a world whose people believe that when they mature, they are to be returned to the Cocoon. It is unknown exactly what this "Cocoon" means, but it plays such an important role that it appears in the language's name itself. It is an agglutinative language, following SVO structure with high inflection and conjugation. Another minor notable feature is perfect vowel harmony used for the 2nd person objective/genitive suffix. It can be transcribed using the standard 26-letter Latin alphabet. So far, only very few grammatical rules have been deciphered, and the language still remains covered in mystery.

Example 1: Leuft.

  • leuf- = to live.
  • -t = 2nd person verb suffix.

=> "You live"

Example 2: Mevorto lhanee folta.

  • mev- = to give.
  • -or- = causative verb suffix.
  • -to = 2nd person objective suffix.
  • lhanee = happiness.
  • folta = always.

=> "Give you happiness always" = "I will always be giving you happiness"
