Synthetic language with minor analytical influences.
- High Elvish sentence structure is the basis, but most information is provided by a highly inflectional system carried over from the Lymadian parent languages.
- This synthetic nature is highly unusual for a creole and is, at least to this degree, not found on earth. However, since all speakers of the pidgin that evolved into the creole spoke related, polysynthetic languages, it seems possible for them to carry over their inflectional system.
- Also, given that there is no agreement whatsoever and very little derivation, it could be argued that the morphemes carried over from Lymadian are actually adpositions
