Well, obviously we all have conversations. I would say most of us know at least one of the "other" languages, plus Common - it's the only way to make it in the world. That just means there's a lot of things you can say in one place that'll make sense in other places too. Sometimes we say it a little different from spot to spot... plus there's the stuff the Aedvects keep throwing out there. I don't know why they stick so hard... maybe the novelty. Anyway, it's just a matter of paying attention.

Demons Never Rest for Long
A phrase of warning not to let one's guard down around demons. Derived from a Zozun phrase as explained below.
Primary Region of Use: Astrum, Gaean
Variations: kasura unaven (Zozun - literally "Demons don't sleep.") Notes: The original zozun phrase has an ominous feeling, and is used by Demons as a threat with a meaning to the effect of "I'll never stop doing [harmful thing]" (e.g. I'll never stop coming after you to kill you! I'll never stop plotting my revenge because you ate my pie! Don't let your guard down, I'm after you and I won't stop!) The more common phrase has a warning tone and is primarily used by non-demons to remind one another not to trust demons.

E

Exedis
The process of extracting and incorporating a person's lumen into oneself, thus expanding one's own ultimate potential power. This is primarily done by Demons, though Celestials can do so at a much reduced rate of benefit.
Primary Region of Use: Incaendium

Primary Region of Use: Astrum

Primary Region of Use: Universal, but with tonal differences. See notes.
Variations: kivalor ni ne kopalor (zozun, 'lit. greatness is not nobility')

Notes: This phrase can have different implications depending on the one using it. In most use cases, it is a warning that just because a thing is impressive or powerful, that does not imply they are inherently moral or kind. However, when used inside Incaendium, it will usually imply the opposite - that strong morality does not make a person inherently impressive.

Lumen
The term used to represent the overall potential, tapped and untapped, that a person possesses.

A person can have a high lumen level but be virtually helpless if they lack understanding of and skill with their abilities.
Primary Region of Use: Universal

 
Lumenti
Abilities that are "carried" - which is to say powers that have already been actualized/achieved.
