Heh, yeah... the initials stood for Contemporary Keyboard, later just Keyboard. Though this kind of silliness has been tempered, the association can remain.
You could, but I think that'd be a bit archaic. (But the Cfesifonei like to sound achaic!)Sounds good. I wonder if it would then just still get called Elcaďinas, perhaps.
(Caďinas is really awkward in Verdurian: it's a reborrowing, so the -as is treated as part of the root, thus giving genitive caďinasei etc. Plus it's strongly associated with the empire. The adjective caďin is still current and convenient, so elcaďin works fine.)
I often use a verb + -eu (m) / -ec (f) for first names, a place + -um for family names. Remember that -um names an inhabitant: "mountainlander" is good, "radishlander" not as good.1. How do you go about coining Kebreni personal names? I can see an amount of -um, and -ec for women, applied to normal lexemes. Can you just use any word in the dictionary, or is there more to it, and are suffixes common/obligatory/optional...? Without having made a big list of Kebreni names I thought it would be easier to ask.
But almost any noun can be used for a first name. Jewels, plants, animals, virtues, and happy qualities work well.
For surnames, think "what would distinguish one medieval dude from another?" Location works, thus all the -um names. But a profession is OK too, or an adjective. Be prosaic here-- Kalum the Tall is fine, Kalum the Righteous is overblown.
Verduria was pretty law-oriented at that time, so Vlaran would not have him killed or anything. If you want him available for the narrative, he could be freed that year; on the other hand he'd be strongly encouraged to not stay in Verduria-city.2. Any notes/ideas on what happened to Getemil Onvaďre? He would be 16 in 3422, and last we heard (from the Almeopedia article on Onvaďra) he was arrested in 3420 on the death of his mother.
As we’re headed to Verduria-city in time for the second imdaluát of King Vläran, and two years seems potentially a long time for a youngish teenager to be arrested, I’m wondering if there’ll be some interest/gossip/drama involving what happens to him going around Verduria-city when we get there.
