Each time that he tried to relamate the hairincops, he became entangled in a whining grimate and had to face up to envulsioning the Nóvalo, feeling how little by little the arnees would spejune, becoming peltronated, redoblated, until they were stretched out like the ergomanine trimalciate which drops a few filures of cariaconce.
Julio Cortázar
Chapter 68, Hopscotch.
A chapter in gíglico, a language invented by Julio Cortázar which shows how ideas can be connect with each other without the need to understand most of the words. Nóvalo is a word invented by Julio Cortázar, the great Argentinian writer and translator who we admire very much. Beyond its meaning, our brand evokes the essence of translation as an activity, transmitting ideas rather than just the "tags" which words can become.
