Each of the Six Loquent Peoples uses a simple form for naming.
Each of the Ethrans and the Xylans, all of which Peoples were created
all at once, bears a single name decided upon at the time of
creation. There is no need for a lineal name since there was no
procreation.
The other four Peoples use a given name plus a patronymic (Lithans) or
matrinymic (Pyrans, Humans, and Hydorans), the patronymic preceding
the given name. The patronymic is formed with the prefix "ßoon-,"
child of. [ß = dz)]
The Pyrans precede these two names with a "clan" name, actually the
name of their settlement: "of the ____ settlement, child of ____, N."
