Unfortunately, I couldn't transcribe the IPA for the Neanderthals, I'll have to do that later.

WTF the second 'lukin' and why the seond 'kepeken' come to that? Transporting a roast (though maybe unroasted)? Looks like 'poki'

'o kepeken' "Voiceover" doesn't quite work, but nothing better comes to mind.
Cute.
Point?

Ithkuil (I never get that right, did I this time?) is much worse than this.

I'm mulling over if toki pona could be used for an anthropological experiment to see how simple a language people could use and still support the physical "culture" we see that the Neanderthals had. Post forthcoming any moment now...
