the dead are honored usually through making plants of them (((like that one thing that lets u turn ur ashes into a tree or whatever))). many clans have 'spirit gardens' where the plants are kept, the spirits of those who died suddenly, or reluctant to leave the plane of the living are believed to live in those gardens, some also believe the gardens serve as a sort of bridge between the living realm and the dead. it is considered incredibly shameful to let your garden wither, and very very disrespectful to the deceased for anyone that isnt a member of the clan to tend the garden.
my current working of the language js rather simplistic and ive added some minor grammatical elements from asl haha
i am chalking up previous spelling of certain names for ky'tan things to "humans not bothering to learn the real thing" when talking about things
they generally do not find humans physically attractive bc they are not Fuzzy and most Do Not Have Beautiful Big Beards. [[[big fluffy manes are v attractive, tho small ones give oneself a "youthful" look that many like. posessing no beard is not, however]]]
they are legally adults at 25 but are pysiologically mature at 30. average lifespan is around 130 but have the potential to live for upwards of 200 years
i am totally not pulling language mechanics out of my ass as i work on the ky'tan alphabet
ky'tan only use gendered language when in the presence of humans because humans are exceedingly difficult to get to use neutral language (the exception being obv gender community ppl and their allies but that is a small group of many) as such they will adopt pronouns of their choice on how they feel is right given the language and their personal idenities.
kyen uses she pronouns but would rather neutral pronouns (they/them primarily) but since humans are asswipes its mostly She
