Uniqueness	It is an active language (intransitive "subjects" can be marked as either A or P). Even the syntax is active. The active marking is based on control. Controlled events mark their sole argument as Agent, and non-controlled arguments are marked as Patient. It also features umlaut, mutation, a negative verb and OVS word order.
Language Sources	Originally Quenya, Sindarin, Tokana and Old Icelandic. Nowadays all active languages are inspiring, especially Lakhota and Central and Eastern Pomo.
