Well that would mean languages were born from a need to satisfy some unique resource constraint over some trial and error attempts at communication in order to reach stable reproduction of identifying what an origin point is, what a cycle is and when it phase shifts, and being able to identify when cycles overlap or are distinct.

I guess some cave people would base their language around some logarithm of stone and the memory of pressure of that material against their body and muscles if we add the nerves of our body to the mix as influence over a language, but that might just be syntactic sugar ultimately. The language of the tool is interesting but for spoken language to arise the language of the tool would have come afterwards.

A language would default prioritize by virtue of natural selection things like food growth cycles and the ability to distribute this knowledge/awareness to other members. So we have members who want to repeat the bare minimum for tasks that enabled survival. The more important the task the shorter that ritual of information transfer would become over time as it became a core expression for saving time.

I guess pain would have been a much later thing for any language to develop when one thinks about it. Even animals basically just howl and screech and haven't learned the ability to calm down so they can provide more detailed behavior. Might be the difference in language ultimately between animals and humans, the ability to heal and care for the pain in another that an observer is not experiencing is a pretty complex system.

Hope it was an amicable separation and an amazing relationship that helped you get to new places with nothing but hope and love behind every step.
