I imagine that Nabla and Aleph’s family speaks a ton of languages (bc letters of alphabets from different languages). So a lot of the time household languages are actually multiple languages put in a blender into a semi-coherent product, example “Chinglish”, or Chinese+English in Hong Kong. And Nabla and Aleph would speak in that way to family and each other.
Also both of them are fluent in 8-10 languages, give or take, English not included because that’s they’re still learning it.
Also one or both of them has probably done a version this at one point:
“Hey can you pass me the… the uh-“ struggles to remember salt in english “άλας.”
someone else: “…do you mean salt?”
