This is the closest thing I've seen to Borges' fictional language described in Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius. The language has no nouns, so words are made of up sets of adjectives.
"moon" becomes "round airy-light on dark" or "pale-orange-of-the-sky".
Because of this structure, it was possible to create poems in the language that consisted of a single long word.
