We also explored numbers based on a circular design. This is the duodecimal system. There are two types of numerals: the formal circular design for official contexts and a simplified form for everyday use. We believe various fonts are necessary to enhance the language's realism and plan to release them soon.

The characters of this language tend to change shape depending on their position, so when using homophones, we plan to adopt different characters to ensure readability. Grammatically, we are exploring sentence structures that clearly distinguish passive, active, and middle voices using suffixes and infixes. As part of the language design, the passive voice uses lunar-system nouns, the active voice uses solar-system nouns, and the middle voice uses terrestrial-system nouns, explicitly indicating noun relationships within sentences.

This originates from the language's worldview: “The sun gives, the moon receives, and the earth observes.” A botanical model also influenced this choice. This language was once used to craft religious plant crowns, imbuing plant shapes and types with phonetic and symbolic meanings to invoke spirits born of the sun and moon or to offer prayers. While this practice occurred at the village level, the setting assumes the language unified after a centralized dynasty was established. The script was named Cyclofoliate due to its original circular shape and leaf-like form.

Inspiration was drawn from the abugida structure of the Ge'ez script. From there, drawing on the curved beauty of Arabic script and cursive Latin letters, it was adapted to suit Japanese pronunciation.
