Melangian Naming Convention

Post by Andreas the Wise »

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.
The character Andreas the Wise is on indefinite leave.
However, this account still manages:
Cla'Udi - Count of Melangia
Manuel - CEO of VBNC. For all you'll ever need.
Vincent Waldgrave - Lord General of Gralus
Q - Director of SAMIN
Duke Mel'Kat - Air Pirate, Melangian, and Duke of the Flying Duchy of Glanurchy

And references may be made to Vur'Alm Xei'Bôn (a Nelagan Micron of undisclosed purpose).

Question: Is the ' pronounced? Many languages use that "letter" to mark a glottal stop.

It indicates a slight pause, nothing more ...

I don't know what erb are, and I'm pretty sure I don't have five of them.

We in Ashkenatza sort of need as much information on the Malan'je as we can get our paws on. You wouldn't consider sending me the info?
