Indonesian has "setahuku" for "AFAIK"
Im sure some natural language with subject verb agreement has a one word "IDK" sentence as well but I dont know any. Probably gonna be something like
know-NEG-1S
(with different ordering)

Ideas:
- All suffixes about people have variations based on gender.
- All family members are gender-neutral, you have to put male/female before it to specify.
- Consonant harmony.

Re: Conlang ideas
It's derived from
se-tahu-ku
I'm not really sure how to explain the "se-" prefix here, but a clunky equivalent is "as [x]", like sebanyak = as much as, where "banyak" means "a lot".
The -ku indicates a 1st person singular.
"seingatku" also means "as I remember", or to be more fitting to the "AFAIK" example, "IIRC". "Ingat" means "to remember".
