 *[[Verse:Aoife]]
-*Aeno Michaelidh, a mystic and comparative linguist; the first conlanger in the Irtan Western world
+*Aeno Michaelidh
-**Influenced by her missionary work in Southeast Asia
-**Writes groundbreaking works in historical linguistics (equivalent to our timeline's William Jones) and proposes Proto-Indo-Uralic
-***Unlike William Jones, Michaelidh is not surprised by Sanskrit's relation to Latin and Greek; she partly travels to Southeast Asia to verify her belief in a common ancestor for all human languages
-**Latinizes her name, originally of [[Medh Chêl]] origin, to Aenō, Aenōnis
-**Developed a multilevel conworld with resemblances to Dante
-***[[Rõktiap]] is the language of "heaven" in that world; its grammar is based on Michaelidh's idea of what the first human language was like (though the actual details were not a reconstruction); unlike Earthly languages Rõktiap doesn't evolve into descendants all that much (Sõiptram is an exception)
-***LOTR-style presentation of Earth languages in translation
-**Work was co-opted and tweaked/reinterpreted by Remonitionists
 *Lule Vriyastukte, a [[Riphean]] avant-garde composer
