[ǁo.ǁo.ja.ǃa.nai.mo.jeʔ]
Literal translation: "Person no person shouted more than once."
Language: Cradle Kuti wane
Cradle
Kuti wane is the oddball in the Kuti wane family. Not only does it
retain the original click consonants from Mikutiam wane, which went away
in all of the other daughter languages. It's also a synthetic language,
whereas its siblings are all fairly isolating. Also, its syntax is SVO
instead of VSO. It has, though, lost case marking, just like its
siblings, making it an analytic language.
