Tot
I have absolutely no clue what this is. I found it in my conlang folder while I was gathering notes on other stuff and don't remember anything about why I was making it. No clue when I made it, probably in the last few years? It looks like it was intended to be a language made up of single syllables since I always default to agglutination. Recording here for posterity and calling it Tot because it sounds cute.
