Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

Kala idiom:

heua kuyak
sky green-NEG
The sky is not green.

This alludes to the natural order of things. If something does not happen the way that one would like it may be because it does not naturally follow, hence, heua kuyak.
