What is Mejor?

Aryeztur, so what and where is Mejor? Is it a city? And what does the word itself mean? I have seen it in Antican Aryez, as well as in your micro-national surname.

It's the first step in making Goldshire a crappy Aryez clone...

Mejor means great or magnificent. It is a large city in Goldshire. http://shireroth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=161&t=11769

It is more than anything the primitive barbarians from Lakhesis (Malliki's Barony) can conjure. It has produced philosophy and goods of renown.

Not a Spanish rip off. If you know the x-sampa IPA, its pronounced [meZOr] and can be better romanized as "mezhaur." In fact, words starting with "m" denote great in a variety of Indo-European languages. I will not deny that Aryezi is an Indo-European language. Examples include magnificent which is Romance based, mighty, which is Germanic, and Maha found in Sanskrit compounds.

I grow weary of answering and putting up to your questions. The time has come for action.

I've tried to find info about Aryezi, but I just can't find it...

The rules don't have to be followed when creating proper names. Mejora can thus become Mejor the name of a city, Aryeza (noble) can become Aryez.

There is a script which I'll scan whenever I can. Information exists. You just have to look. Here is a physical example of the script from some years ago. A bit dated, the current script has a couple of different letters but is essentially the same thing.
