Ikenian language

The names of the language
The original name Iépeãko comes from the Crootch word Ikenia, meaning "a spirit".

In order to make the word Ikéwã to mean particularly the language (since this word can be added to mean any Crootch thing, for example, the Crootch culture (Ikéwã retãzo)), the word tinzula, meaning "a language", is frequently added.
