The ''Lumutak'' is set in a narrative framework of the nobleman Thykwari's series of dreams, in which he meets with two Entiris: Reikhentiri (the Yellow God) and Ylkentiri (the Violet God), two of the eight manifestations of the fundamental force of the Universe. At the start his journey to the Urukum, Thykwari seeks knowledge, dealing with a moral dilemma and despair about the situation after the Iktarenen (Ascending of two main deities) and what changes will the growing instability in the continent bring to his own kin. The Yellow and Violet Gods talk to Thykwari to calm his worries and tell him the wisdom to fulfill his duty and obtain inner peace”. The dialogues cover a broad range of spiritual topics, touching upon various philosophical subjects that go far beyond the socio-political instability in the region. | The ''Lumutak'' is set in a narrative framework of the nobleman Thykwari's series of dreams, in which he meets with two Entiris: Reikhentiri (the Yellow God) and Ylkentiri (the Violet God), two of the eight manifestations of the fundamental force of the Universe.

Although it tells about Thykwari of the House of Eirekentur, the poem itself was not written by him, but rather by multiple unknown authors from the southern part of the Tilkirik region, from which most of Erepursal literature originated. | ||
The ''Lumutak'' is a poem written in the [[Kirtumur]] language (the Erepursal variety, which contains many loanwords from Kērsalur). Its hundred verses are structured into several Kyrdan poetic meters, called, '''munaltarkan'''. The ''munaltarkans'' consist of two (sometimes more) alternating couplets with a strict amount of syllables (from six to nine). The metered verse does not always rhyme, except for a few short verses. While the munaltarkan is the principal meter in the Lumutak, it does deploy other elements of prosody, for example, it occasionally uses the ''hōyaklawak'' (lit. “eleven steps”) meter , where a line of a verse contains exactly eleven syllables. | The ''Lumutak'' is a poem written in the [[Kirtumur]] language (the Erepursal variety, which contains many loanwords from Kērsalur).
