Creation and Usage Notes

Given its status as a language that might have seeded real world languages, I didn't want only Indo-European languages to have potential roots in Yulish. This word was meant to have "inspired" the Arabic word "childhood" (one which I've never forgotten, for some reason). -David J. Peterson 16:40, 10 January 2020 (PST)
