About Proto-Capuchin
Proto-Capuchin, or Xydvozudcymac /ɣyd.βɶ.'zud͡ʒ.ym.'aʒ/ as named by the speakers, is a proto-lang for a conculture that descends from today's Capuchin monkeys. Xyd-vozud-cymac is a compound word literally meaning "language (of the) people (of) all cats claws." Figuratively, it means "Language of the concentrated ones," as "vozud" in this context is the fourth person plural pronoun, and "cymac" is the word for "all cat claws," a metaphor for deep and concentrated thought.
