* The language seems to be inspired by Latin ("Opus" is Latin for "work"), but most of the words don't exist.

* The language seems to be inspired by Latin ("Opus" is Latin for "work"), but most of the words don't exist. However, while it is a pseudo-language, many words appear to be phonetic wordplays or portmanteaus based on Latin, Greek, and Germanic roots that directly tie into the game's lore, the NYC Ritual, and the Patrons' nature:

** '''BOTAREX:''' Likely a blend of ''Votum'' (vow/wish) and ''Rex'' (king), a direct nod to the Patron known as the "Hidden King".

** '''HARFT:''' Phonetically resembles "Harvest", tying into the soul-gathering mechanic of the ritual.

** '''MAX OPUS:''' A reference to ''Magnum Opus'' (The Great Work in alchemy and occultism).

** '''TOS DUO:''' Contains the root ''duo'' (two), referencing the two rival Patrons (or teams) pitted against each other.

** '''MECTONUS:''' A possible blend of ''Mech'' (machine) and ''Chthonic'' (underworld deity), fitting the Patron's design as an otherworldly possessed construct (tying back to their old "Titan" designation in ''Neon Prime'').

** '''GETOX:''' Phonetically resembles "Gates", referencing the ritual's ultimate goal of opening a gateway for the Patrons to enter our world. While there is no official translation, a phonetic and lore-based deciphering of the pseudo-language suggests it is an occult incantation describing the NYC Ritual and the Patron's nature. An artistic translation of the crest could be interpreted as: ''"King of Wishes and voice of the Elder Gods,'' ''A supreme brass effigy residing beyond the edge of Limbo.'' ''The golden toll demands the Harvest for the Gods' Great Work,'' ''Pitting the Two against each other in the crossroads of endless night.'' ''Behold the chthonic machine, the Great Sovereign,'' ''A restless spirit in final defense, awakening the Gates."''
