No it's not though I've heard that before. It's really just a compound of
Silin "forest" + ion (a language name former). Come to think of it, I don't
even know where the -d- comes from, it probably should be dropped entirely,
or maybe I can just name it Silic like it was called 3 years ago. Thanks for
bringing it to my attention.
Or, better yet, form a rule that says that /n/ becomes /nd/ before
/i/. Or just make the word irregular.
Too bad I didn't think of a rule like this a long time ago,
to implement it now would mean going through at least 500+
words in my dictionary.
