PALINDROMES

All Ffisteun revere palindromic words and phrases.

Whether the Kamoth Yeok's use of palindromes began the reverence or the Kamoth Yeok was the first to use palindromes so conspicuously is debatable.

The longest palindrome in common usage is the XIII (11) syllable word that describes the first rule of story telling:

älanäkäwäinääniäwäkänalä 

This is however dwarfed by the XXV (21) syllable source palindrome. This word graphically and verbally displays, by the unusual use of digraphs to indicate separate phrases (or stories) within a story - like matryoshka.

älanåkåwainåshäthingküthiertetierthükngithäshåniawåkånalä

The best known of the Kamoth Yeok's palindromic phrases is the ipåtåpi (itself a palindrome) of the amjeu bo dillallinn 

ket taareffell llef eraattek

Not all palindrome refer to serious topics

ikiniki

is how household staff refer to a 'roll-in-the-hay'

Homonyms

do occur, given that the flora and fauna of the regions are varied and the tianz' desires to categorise vary. The word sounding KIKI means: 

an omnivorous arachnoid (Peluus); a läm courtesan (Kno); a sword duel involving balancing on a swinging platform (Wetterae); a riverine aquatic mammal (Tuassenet)

Kait - officially do NOT have names.

Males - should always begin with a consonant

Females - should always begin with a vowel

Läm - no rule.

The majority of names are based on the flora and fauna of Ffisteu. A few names are incredibly popular and trans-tianz. Ava is a seldom seen, but with a distinctive booming call, marsh-bird. Ava is frequently given to un-named orphans.

NightSky caused so many kait to lose their parents that within a generation an eighth of the population was about to pass through nänhauet all bearing the same name. At this point Their Most Serene Majesty declared in an edict that henceforth the ärist would add the gender suffix to their names: J'Ava, T'Ava and L'Ava. Within two further generations the use of the suffixes had spread to all names.
