Uh, I don't like this name now. If this was a real-world language, it would
probably be spoken *north* of the Arabic-speaking region. Possibly Lebanon,
Syria, Turkey, northern Iraq, even the Caucasus or the Balkans.

I'm wondering about the Arabic word for "eclectic"; I found two in an online
dictionary (at ajeeb.com): _istifaa'ii_ (emphatic s and t) and _intixaa'ii_.
