[comments] anrik The speakers live on an island of 420,164 square miles at 49° 7' 59.16'' S, 132° 20' 40.6824'' W, with two adjacent peninsulas(one looking like the Italian Peninsula and the Walvis Ridge, and the other looking like Cape Cod), and a chain of smaller islands that are close but distant. The flora consists of palm trees, lilies, ebony trees, teak trees, and plant-based foods, as well as certain types of orchids. The fauna consists of crocodiles, opossums, several other (but probably not all) clades that inhabit Chile, some native to Hawai'i, scorpions, amphibians like certain types of frogs, lizards, geckos, turtles, sea turtles, salamanders, lesser frigatebirds, brown noddies, black-winged petrels, Gould's petrels, Buller's shearwaters, pigeons, white terns, white-tailed tropicbird, many-colored fruit doves, masked boobies, and river dolphins. The speakers are humans that are also pre-Bronze Age hunter-gatherers, who crafted tools and weapons from wood and flint.
They also survive on a diet of coconuts, yellow fruits(that I forgot the name off yet are still native to tropical islands throughout the Pacific) that aren't starfruit, some healthy vegetation that could eventually be used for some spices, and seasoning for useful animals. Speaking of that, they divide animals into three categories: dangerous animals(hluxho), neutral animals(anu'i), and useful animals(nupatiihhu). The word for useful animal is the direct translation of the English word animal, leading to a taxonomy somewhat similar to Moroccan Arabic. There is also a taxonomy for colors: red(uteelu)(first seen from blood dripping out of bodies of humans and animals that use iron in their diet), yellow(wuyole)(first seen from certain fruits and(but probably associated with) the discovery of fire), green(luniike)(from trees and plants), blue(lepuhhaa)(from the sky and ocean waters), white(hewita)(from the sun and clouds), and black(latuukopee)(from the darkness). Other color terms are derived from those six root words. ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
