Crayfish Atlantean

Crayfish fishermen often went to the very end of africa to find the best crayfish. Some ended up settling there. It is unclear right now what happened, but one theory is that kaasgatou they made there caused unbearable scratchy throats, but their addiction to kaasgatou would not let them stop.

Eventually, some people found if they made certain sounds, it would soothe the itching. These sounds began to infiltrate the language. With better technology, they were eventually able to make kaasgatou that did not scratch the throat, but by then the sounds had stuck.
