71át

71át is a term attributed to a fictional language and cultural system that appears in worldbuilding and conlang literature. In these contexts, 71át serves as both a ceremonial greeting and the name of a related festival, functioning as a focal point for communal ritual and identity. The concept is commonly presented as integral to the imagined society’s calendar, greetings, and public rites.

Etymology and form are typically described as a compound built from the numerals seven and one, plus a suffix -át that marks a nominal or ritual category in the imagined language. In transliteration, the form is kept as 71át, sometimes with alternate spellings in related texts to reflect regional or historical variations of the tongue. Pronunciation is often described as two syllables, with the emphasis placed on the first, though exact phonetic details vary across sources.

Usage and practice center on social cohesion and ceremonial exchange. As a greeting, 71át is said to acknowledge communal lineage and shared time, often accompanied by a prescribed gesture or short utterance. As the name of a festival, it marks a seasonal or calendrical rite with specific performances, songs, or rituals. The festival is described as a time for reconciliation, renewal, and reaffirmation of social bonds within the community.

In scholarship within the fiction and conlang communities, 71át is discussed as an example of how numerals and suffixes can encode social function in a constructed language. It is sometimes cited in discussions of invented calendars, greetings, and the linguistic depiction of ritual life.
