Uniqueness	Though I'm certain it's been done before, it's still rather rare to find a language whose roots lie in the Eskimo languages (and rarer still, the Caucasian languages).
Language Sources	As I alluded to above, my main inspiration was drawn from the Siglitun dialect of Inuvialuktun, but I also drew inspiration from Georgian and Middle Egyptian.
Design Principles	This language is verb-heavy, such that most verbs are long and morphologically complex. The main work of the language is done through derivational suffixes (or circumfixes) that are added to nouns to create verbs.
