Evereni (language)

Evereni was the language of the species of the same name that originated from their homeworld Everon. The Evereni species named their families for actions, and their name for themselves—"Evereni"—meant "caretakers." After the species abandoned their world in 500 BBY, the Evereni continued to use the language for centuries. The Evereni pirate leader Marda Ro discovered the language during her encounter with another Evereni who called himself "Isren," who taught her some phrases in Evereni. Ro thought the language sounded slippery and later mentioned it in journal entries she recorded for her descendants.

By 252 BBY, her granddaughter Shalla Ro taught her own grandson Marchion Ro—who had listened to his great-great-grandmother's messages mentioning Evereni by that same year—about the value of things connected to the name Ro. He recalled this lesson years later while digging through his family's records.
