'''Omonkwi''', [o.ˈmoŋ.kʷi], is a naturalistic [[a priori]] [[artistic language|artlang]] ~~lightly~~ inspired ~~in some~~ Mesoamerican aboriginal languages. It features ergative-absolutive alignment, and tends to form poetic compounds for words in a manner not unlike [[w:kenning|kennings]]. The construction of these new poetic compounds is often preferred and will even go on to replace a common word for an object. Speakers of Omonkwi are encouraged in this way to come up with new aesthetically pleasing new words and terms.
