Aesthetic:
Loops, spirals, and fluid forms resembling desert sands or shifting currents.
Overlapping glyphs hide meaning—text is meant to be fleeting and misinterpreted.

Grammar: Verb-Subject-Object (VSO) – Prioritizes action over clarity.

Phonetics:
Uses vibratory consonants (Z, V, M, N) that require sustained sound.
Prefers softer sounds (v instead of f, sh instead of ch).
Rarely uses K or F, often shifting to soft G and V.

Temporary sand inscriptions:
“From Nothing, Chaos.
Eddies in the void will weave us anew.
Knowledge is as a single drop relinquished to the ocean.”
