The language was created in school, during biology class. Marvin had an idea to make a Uralic-looking language for quite some while, so he decided to start. The first words created were: "Ikka, paalika, mõri, tuukaa" (I, to speak, with, you), and the first sentence was "Ikka paalikka mõri tuukaa". Because his last language [[Jeïos]] was quite complicated, he tried making this one easier to learn. The name for the language does not have any meaning and was just created. | The language was created in school, during biology class.
