- Itidakimas
You say:
- Itidakima is kaleh
Purpose
- Fills missing syllables
- Keeps speech flowing
- Adds playful tone
Etymology
The word "kaleh" comes from the idea of a tongue pop sound. The explanation by Sesable is not fully detailed, but it is inspired by the Kumburuburus language, a pioneering language style that often uses tongue pops as fillers.
Instead of the sound like: *kleh*
The Kaleh language converts it into a spoken filler word: kaleh!
Kaleh Language's Golden Rule
"IS" = Filler Marker
In Kaleh language, "is" is added before the last syllable of a word. This acts as a filler marker that modifies the word's flow and can also help soften or censor words when speaking.
Formula: Word + "is" before the last syllable
