Concept
Gnomish
Gnomish is the language of the Gnomes. Its structure is unusual: a sentence read from beginning to end and the same sentence read from end to beginning convey completely different meanings.1
This structure lets gnomes convey a great deal of information in very few words. It makes Gnomish a terrible language for literature, but a perfect one for scientific study.1
Intellectuals in The Empire often learn Gnomish and like to boast of it. Apprentices of the Archon Academy are among those who speak it alongside Empirian.12
