=== History ===
=== History ===
The language was created in school, during biology class. Marvin had an idea to make a Uralic-looking language for quite some while, so he decided to start. The first words created were: "Ikka [ɪka], paalika [pa:lɪka], mõri [mø:ri], tuukaa [tu:ka:]" (I, to speak, with, you), and the first sentence was "Ikka paalikka mõri tuukaa". Because his last language [[Jeïos]] was quite complicated, he tried making this one easier to learn. The name for the language does not have any meaning and was just created.

The double letters in words (e.g tuuka) are used to indicate a long vowel, and a double consonant usually represents a short vowel (e.g hitta). Some of the special letters
have their own short or long version.
