It was customary for noble families to design their own version of the Bukk language that only family members were taught and allowed to speak. One of the requirements of marrying into such a family would be the mastering of the family's Underbukk. The ritual is known as "morotōsha". Going through the ritual signifies the good will of the family, since learning it would require several members of the family to teach it to the newcomer. The whole family then tests the newcomer's knowledge, by requiring them to tell a story and answer questions.

At least in part, the tradition of Underbukk leads to inconsistent rules regarding pronunciation. For instance, stresses in spoken Bukk are fairly arbitrary, but at the same time getting it wrong is considered an error more serious than slightly mispronouncing the word itself.
