The Diluvian Code can be spoken in a reduced register, where context dictates the meaning of the words. It is called Babelic, when neither morphology, nor syntax, or prosody matter
The Diluvian Code can be spoken in a reduced register (Babelic), where context dictates the meaning of the words. In this form, affixes and clitics are omitted, and special particles are introduced to express questions and biases. The sentence below, for example, refuses to apply pronouns (which are considered affixes) while
introducing 規 /tʼə/ "rule" to indicate a strong form of biding:


 
{{interlinear|lang=fi|number=(1)
(words don't inflect)
|top= 死 犬 規
(to express questions and biases it's required more words)
|死 犬 規
 
|''mu kaun tha''
''mu kaun tha!''
|death dog rule
are you implying I should die like a dog!
|"Are you implying I should die like a dog!"
