Out of curiosity, do we know anything about the native language of the hero? Ahntharhapik and khanfhighur don’t seem to be from existing languages (Edit: by which I mean, using this or similar spelling).
Is there anything significant here for the story, or is Eliezer (say) just avoiding the assumption that the hero is an English speaker?
Thanks—ahntharhapik seemed obvious but I missed khanfhighur. (Khanfhighur is much more obvious now when I imagine it with an American accent.)
Re my original question, I’m still curious whether there are any clues about the language itself (other than that there are obvious cognates with English and what those cognates are). Does it relate to other stories/worldbuilding

“Ahntharhapik” = “anthropic”
“khanfhighur” = “configuration”

I’m probably overthinking it.
