Verba Index and Lexicon (Language of the Nakam)

i'm the wench if you're the cake ;)
The Nakam Race has now become Extinct.
All contact from Kavdek has ceased, as if the entire island and outside population of Nakam has ... vanished. No new Nakam will be arriving or appearing, and no new Nakam characters may be created.

The only exception to this is two existing Nakam having a biological child.

Navigation:

{Questions and Answers} - Ask questions to clarify the Lore!
{Lore} - All the official lore can be found here (ORGANIZED)
{The Art} - Ever wondered what the Nakam look like?
{Applications} - How to play a Nakat + list of Active Nakam
{Lexicon} - Verba, the language of the Nakam

-Verba can ONLY be learned through extensive RP with a willing Nakat. Alongside that, I will personally investigate any Nakat teaching every other passerby willy~nilly and I do not hesitate to remove lore-breaking Nakam from game.
-Verba cannot be learned from a book or taught through a book. It is a heavily oral-based language, ergo no books teaching verba will be successful and it is nigh impossible to learn without a dedicated Native Speaker teaching you.
-A non-native speaker (Someone who is not a Nakat) cannot teach comprehensive or fluent Verba they have been taught.
-The written equivalent of Verba is known as Ludkava, runes that are only decipherable by a well-educated Nakat. It is not available for any non-nakam to learn.

Any transgressions in this lore will be persecuted.
nakam only, yo

Numbers:
En -1
Du -2
Swi -3
Lef -4
Vi -5
Sep -6
Keh -7
Jev -8
Wev -9
Dek -0

Additional numbers are created by fusing two of the 0-9 scale. For instance, sixty-nine would translate to "Sep'wev".
Age is not generally calculated by the number of years you have lived, and more in what stage of life you are in, following this chart:

0-3 Dekdaki (the beginning age)
3-13 Dakichal (The age of innocence)
13-20 Dakibek (The age of idiocy)
20-45 Dajakal (The age of responsibility)
45-death Dakeva (The age of wisdom)
