“The Lingua Ignota contains only nouns and a few adjectives. […] These are followed by other familial relationships, body-parts, illnesses, religious and hierarchical terms, ranks of nobility, craftsmen, days, months, clothing, household instruments, many growing things and a few birds and insects. Quadrupeds are lacking.” –Douglas S. Bigham
