Uniqueness	All of the grammar is based on math, primarily addition. Every phoneme has a numeric value, and words can often be shortened by adding low-valued phonemes together to produce high-valued phonemes.
Language Sources	I was trying to make "a better Latin than Latin itself" ... but I took bits and pieces from many different languages.
Design Principles	I made this language without any loanwords, and every word that I did add in had to either be derived from another preexisting word, or be one that I thought a lot about, and didn't just choose randomly. Also I wanted this language to be as compact as possible, so I made the words very short.
