This is just my own theorizing, but I think that there might be a common
root word in play here, if we look at jatlh, jat, and ja', all associated
with speaking. A trick often used in the creation of artificial languages is
designing the one it evolved from (or a very simplified model of it) to
allow this sort of thing. Does anyone else have an info on this?
