While the words have no correlation to Elvish, it is intended to mimick it terms of phonology and syllable and sentence structure. It keeps a similar tonal musicality to Elvish, it also has aspects of the harsher Dwarvish, but few of the phonetic inventory. The language initially developed without a copular verb, but over time it aqcuired first a general copula, "to be" which later turned into a permanent state copula, and a second copula appeared as the impermanent state, similar to "ser" and "estar" in Spanish. As these only covered certain aspects of copular construction, many other copulas began to come into use, including "to feel," "to look," and others which have no direct translation, such as "to be," but with the voice of "to have a particular quality applied to." | While the words have no correlation to Elvish, it is intended to mimick it terms of phonology and syllable and sentence structure.
