4 (English: /ku:/, natively tles ndoigh Kuamh /tle noi ku/ (TBA: tone)) is a language spoken in Bjeheond; as a Hlou-Ku language, it's related to Hlou. It is a monosyllabic tonal language inspired by Hmong and Irish. Like Irish, it has initial consonant mutations.

Todo

  • Explain: lexical mutation in Hlou, grammatical mutation in Ku
    • Hlou lexical mutation could have arisen from a grammatical mutation system where the particles fell away
  • dor = to be born ~ Hlou Ndol 'person'
