Arahauvarf was invented by Russian writer Ivan Karasev in 2006 to write his conlang, Arahau.
Each vocalic sound designates a noun, and consonants designate grammatic formants. The construction of language allows it to reduce a stream of speech sometimes. The Arahau language is generated by a polysynthetic principle, and the language is typologically active, unlike the majority of artificial languages.


Numerals are based on somatic subclasses. Multiples of five carry the namearf "the left hand" (ten),ard "the right hand" (five),rka "the left leg" (twenty),rza "the right leg" (fifteen), and also some other parts of a body, as in some Papuan and Tongan languages. The system of counting up to 10 is five-base (quinary), and after 20 it's vigesimal. The separate names have numeratives 21 (rpa) and 22 (rpaj), meaning taboo parts of a body. 100 -ar (mankind, weights), 1000urs - (life), 10000 -raj (uncertain etymology),az - million (mister),azei - one million (giant).Zaharg - billion,zahac - quadrillion,zard - pentillion.
