Re: conlang names

I try to come up with a word or two I think the people would have
called themselves. For example, my protolanguage borrows a few words
from Proto-Indo-European. The root *aryo makes it in there somewhere,
and it ends up lending its name to the conlang Aja. Another one is the
plural form of the word "person" with sound change applied, becoming
Faslyp.
