Places
Place names can be arbitrary derivates of words of either language, with older settlements more likely to be derived from Kendane͡ivash terms than newer ones (e.g. Katal from katale), but they often use a suffix:
- -kine (settlement)
- -dat (town), such as Voskudat
- -'nal (city)
- -ur (ge͡iregin)
- -kosh (sishtke͡ilin)
- -nemt (mdinabin)
- -nu (mnidibin)
- -van (shimtke͡ilin)
People
The most common way of naming a Nayabaru is by giving them two syllables to their name. Almost all Nayabaru cultures work with five glyphs to achieve this (giving a Nayabaru, in theory, room for four title disputes - in practise, it's usually two).
Certain professions with master-apprentice relationships may use a syllable from the master's name appended (or, less often, prepended) to that of the apprentice to mark the end of the apprenticeship, but these are not considered separate glyphs. If a Nayabaru loses a glyph to a title dispute, the glyphs of their master's name are removed as well (although this does not reflect any worse on the punished Nayabaru, and in almost all cases would not reflect badly on the master, even if they are fully identifiable by the syllable, as they might in a small town).
