It is a Matriarch's duty to learn and use a type of recordkeeping language to keep an (albeit convoluted) chart of who paired with who to lay this or that batch of eggs, to help keep inbreeding to a minimum; as well as a collection of symbols that give a brief description of the yinglet's appearance, behaviors, and things like notable skills and mutations.
Copies of an enclave's population list like this are made and sent back to the central enclaves, carried by traveling groups of census-takers, of sorts. This is how the elders track and make adjustments to various enclaves' status and populations, and generally see how any given enclave is progressing.
But with new mutations and such constantly appearing, Matriarchs often create their own custom signs. Some amount of standardization is practiced, but the language is quickly becoming a bloated mass of often-confusing, and sometimes-indecipherable new signs, which require return trips to clarify what a given Matriarch meant by this or that symbol.

I think the main line through it all boils down to the Yings being magicially created. Hence Hassen's transmografication and the fact that the Yigns we see here have very little personal history.
In a wierd way I kind of liken this whole thing to The Venture Brothers; there's a story here, but most of it is set along numberous smaller plots that just sortt of run together into a single larger narrative.

I'm reminded of a mathematics tale along these lines. A student had been sick, and upon coming in to see what he missed he noticed three incomplete equation proofs on the board. Assuming they were homework to be solved, he set about doing so. Many all-nighters later, he admitted to the professor that he was late on the homework, but worked very hard so please don't throw it out?
The professor comes running to his dorm screaming all manner of nerd noises, because they were actually three unsolved proofs of mathematics as an example of the sort of thing that professors worked on, and thus he didn't expect anyone to be able to really understand them, much less solve them. The student went on to be a mathematician with lots of discoveries to his name.

Aw, Lippie, you are so adorable. Adorable and a quivering knot of nerves. She deserves a cup of calming tea whenever she needs it and somebody to teach her how to meditate; Someone non-threatening with a very soothing voice who doesn't make any quick movements.
Also, there is a minor punctuation error in the first panel: "How much birzhscript were you able to memorize." should end with a question mark rather than a period.

Is it just me or do yinglets seem like a cruel joke from God? Like, it’s a species that actively sabotages its own survival and advancement constantly in ways that literally cannot be helped, and I don’t know what this story can possibly do with that fact but I sure as hell look forward to it. Maybe yinglets are secretly OP and can use magic or something. Who knows. Or maybe this specific page is hinting at the fact that the whole mutation gimmick is making yinglets rapidly evolve? But that won’t benefit any existing yinglets (Kass/protagonist included) and would probably just create a small and unpredictable pool of “chosen ones” instead.
Yeah, there’s a chance that yinglets are all formerly humans or something. There are hints that spaceships are for some reason hanging out just on the orbit of whatever planet this story takes place on, so the yinglet transformation rock that blasted Kass back in the beginning was probably a weapon designed to weaken a powerful species by transforming them or something.
Assuming that it's some sort of technology, it's definitely pretty weird. Would it be chemistry? Physics? -We certainly don't have anything like it. Super technology though? I wouldn't necessarily say that. Just very alien to what we're familiar with. That certainly makes it seem like magic, but you know what they say about any sufficiently advanced science being indistinguishable from magic.
Don't forget that a bunch of yinglets were searching pretty hard for the stone or crystal or whatever it was. They or someone who sent them must've known what it could do. So it must have been destined for some particular purpose before it was sidelined. And if there was that one there's a pretty good chance that there are or could be more.
And don't forget the artifacts that we were shown. Some of them showed signs of some rather advanced technology, which would either hint at there previously being a more advanced society that had a disastrous crash, or possibly something brought at some point by more advanced visitors.

thinking on mutations with Yinglets I just think of X-men but all of them are yinglets with B-team grade versions of all the powers. Laser eyes but its just like laser pen powerful but can blind someone momentarily. Teleportation but like only a few inches or so. telepathic but can only tell how someone feels emotionally and can only lift up 1 pound worth of weight with their mind give or take. Just really almost pointless mutations to have.
Well, a Yinglets Savant!! They also have a Form of ADHD and Crippling social problems, but they are capable of Understanding advanced forms of logic and Communications.. Can make High value connections and predict connections.. But they Can't be Good leaders.. Might be an Awesome Historian, Teacher, ETC see BBT for a More High functioning Version.
