| The grammar of the [[Illúme]] language is very beautiful and very vivid. There are usually only a very few ways of saying anything, yet the methods used are pictoral and contextual, for example if you were to say "the man owned a shop" you would say "herathe jujurén bis, [méren]" litterally "The vigour over the shop was his [for he remained to own it]" the word vigour is used because ownership is meaningless in the [[Jéem]] society so they focus on the emotional tie. The analogy comes here directly from an ancient story of Olseen and Mér; two pre collapse partners, friends of the elder days, who embodied the diligence and energy it needs to pioneer and build worlds. Olseen saught out the baron land, filled with potential and Mér laboured to build there: to achieve the very best that could be made, and togther these characters built huge empires. The form of ownership here is possesive in the extremely deep soulful sense, and it therfore refers to the birthing, the risk taking the selflessness, and the inherant tragedy in building anything, (because everything built must demise). However this is a false metaphor in that it has very little to do with "ownership" in the stricter sense. But the shop owner here is an implied spiritual child of Mér. | The grammar of the [[Illúme]] language is very beautiful and very vivid.
