'''Eḥeiθymme''' is characterized by significant word-internal sound-change, a "root-and-pattern" morphology, and strict word order. '''Eḥeiθymme''' readily accepts words of non-native origin, but tends to force said loans into its morphological paradigm. | '''Eḥeiθymme''' is characterized by significant word-internal sound-change, a "root-and-pattern" morphology, and strict word order.

''' | '''Eḥeiθymmen Arjad Eḥðeirymme Amran''' is the lingua franca of Amran. The people of Amran are exceptionally diverse in language, culture, and identity, existing at the time of the ''Leaves'' stories as a nearly totally collapsed regency. Amran varies across its vast landscape from a temperate to a taiga biome, dominated by thick forests, abundant snowfall in many regions, and mountains dominating the terrain inland. Much of the population is concentrated along the coastal regions, while most of the land lay uninhabited by humans. | ||

'''Eḥeiθymme''' is a word built from nominal form of the root '''∅-Y-T''' indicating "language, speaking, articulated speech", rendered as '''ait''', which morphs to '''eiθ''', the '''ah-''' prefix, which morphs to '''eḥ-''', formulates proper nouns out of common nouns, and the suffix '''-umma''', which morphs to '''-ymme''', which is the augmentive suffix. | '''Eḥeiθymme''' is a word built from nominal form of the root '''∅-Y-T''' indicating "language, speaking, articulated speech", rendered as '''ait''', which morphs to '''eiθ''', the '''ah-''' prefix, which morphs to '''eḥ-''', formulates proper nouns out of common nouns, and the suffix '''-umma''', which morphs to '''-ymme''', which is the augmentive suffix. In genitive constructions involving a proper noun fulfilling the genitive role, the possessed noun is in the construct state, sometimes unrealized morphologically, but in this case, it is indicated by '''-n'''. '''Arjad''' is from the positive copula '''R-J-D''', '''Eḥðeirymme''' is built from the nominal form of '''D-J-R''' indicating "earth, land", rendered as '''dair''', which morphs to '''ðeir''', the '''ah-''' prefix, which morphs to '''eḥ-''', formulates proper nouns out of common nouns, and the suffix '''-umma''', which morphs to '''-ymme''', and '''amran''' is the imperfective verbal form from the root '''M-R-N''' indicating "goodness, pleasantness, well-being". All morphing in sounds are accounted for in the section on sound change. | ||
'''Amran''' | Taken altogether, '''Eḥeiθymmen Arjad Eḥðeirymme Amran''' translates to “the principle language of the good land”. | ||
