There's been a lot of people asking on the subject (well, Scott) - finally, all the secrets and subtleties of this important language will be made clear. Ancient historical secrets can be yours for just 5 erb - that's right, just 5 erb (plus 25 postage and handling).
Melangian Naming Convention 101:
There must be a ' after the third letter in the word.
There you are, you know all the secrets of Mel'anje people and their naming! Go forth and name in a Melangian manner!
Melangian Naming Convention 102:
There do exist further subtleties beyond a '. For example, it's thoroughly innapropriate to name someone Xxx'wassisnameIdunnohowlongthisthingisgonnagobutitstoolong.
The subtleties, as currently known, are:
There will only be three or four letters after the '.
The first letter of the name cannot be a vowel (preferably there is only one vowel in the first three letters, though two in the second is appropriate).
Significant names include parts (or a variation thereof) of Melangia or Sakat (as in Mel'Kat).
Melangian naming is quite similiar to Hau'Oli naming (though it tends to use more vowels) but is not, despite the ', bearing any relation to Micron naming.
