Julian takes a chance and bites into the leaf... and it turns out to be pretty edible. More like cabbage than lettuce, but still edible.

And "ito" is... "this"? Not sure about "ano" being strictly "what"; doesn't seem to square with "ano" being used to ask for my name...

Yeah, ito is pretty much this. I'm basing the language on Filipino... which I don't actually know myself.

OK, so Ump is definitely his name. Though I'm wondering how many things there are to identify in the tunnel. Maybe he's thrilled he's met someone with a worse command of the language than him?

He mostly seems happy to chat and smile and say things. There are indeed a fairly limited number of things to point to and name.


[/quote]Let's see if Ump is willing to talk some more outside of the tunnel. Maybe ask him why everyone looks so weird around here.[/QUOTE]
Today he receives five metal coins, rather than four. He's pretty sure he worked substantially longer today than yesterday.



Ump is happy to ... talk (more like gesturing) outside of the tunnel, but he wants Julian to come with him. The questions about people's weird features results in learning a bunch of words. The short folk with beards are . The talls ones with the slightly webbed hands and pale skin with black hair are "Muggragle". Ones with wings are "Lawin".



Ump is in a hurry to get somewhere.
