- Maybe they're English (or other language) versions of the native names? Like how my conlang Gáb-we is (or was) spoken as the official language of (apostraphes = rising accent mark) Tí-Ér'-r'e (also spelled Tíég'), but i usually just write it in English as "Tiere", since that's how it was named by the people who drew up the geography for my LARP group. -Stephen (Steg) "eze'nyih-dathab ailtze wa'^rezat^met-a tze-a."
