- Is there any basis for the diacritic sounds? They aren't present in the pronunciation page, nor are they convenient for people who don't use keyboard settings with ó, á, etc ;)

I did not add them and I typically ignore them, as it's not worth the trouble to try and get those into PS while I am chatting. -Irri

Name for months shouldn't differ too much from the Common names. The months are Yliakum-speciffic, while in Yliakum Enkidukai always lived very close to the Ylians. The names would be much rather (slightly altered?) borrowings, than cases of coinage. Further supported by the months having Common counterparts -- implies they're borrowed from the Ylian culture.

I agree on the months, though the Enkidukai would have brought some words with them for times of the year. Perhaps these are still used by the more rigidly traditional Enkidukai. They would also be remembered by the professional keepers of oral lore and culture. -Irri

-If you are looking for Enkien curses, check out the grammar page for Emphasis http://pswiki.xordan.com/index.php/Enkidukai_Language/Grammar#Emphasis and use constructions like ulber dung and son of an ulber :)  Also, we have words for fool and idiot presently as well. I find I get a lot of use out of those :)
