For the first time, I’m trying to address this kind of a dimension in conlanging:
Puns in the spoken language are a source of cultural associations. For example, the sea is associated with favor (lho). A cutlass is associated with waves (só). A sharp look is said to pierce the soul like a talon (lhé). A lighthouse flows into the cliff it’s built on in popular imagination (k’ó), and both are thought of a wind-swept places. Both bronze and debt are associated with things that weigh us down (hòlh). The crew has always been associated with a haven (tin).
I also have big plans for the Seven Seas.
The current state of the grammar is here: https://snapshotsofthelabyrinth.photo.blog/2026/06/29/lhaxwen-the-pirate-speech/
