Endqwo (endonym: ëq̀eꞌīꞌc; Endqwo: ø.qʷe.ʔiːʔc) is the experimental version of its sister, Endeqwo, it works like, and takes large inspiration from, Ithkuil, except with a much larger sound inventory, allowing for even more distinctions, this language makes a very small attempt at pronouncability, favoring efficiency.
Etymology
ëq̀eꞌīꞌc is from the root -q̀ꞌꞌ- (Our language), it literally means "A made up system of sounds and rules coming together to form a language"

/ʔ/ (written <'> or <ꞌ>) is also a phoneme, but it only occurs to fill roots to the three consonant requirement, like in <q̀>

Credit to John Quijada and Ithkuil, it provided significant inspiration
Morphology
This language has a complex and expansive grammar system, just as Ithkuil, this system is arguably more complex because it has all the distinctions of Ithkuil, plus some.
