Back when I was working on Tevric I used to tape little pieces of paper to
things with their names in Tevric. (to this day I still remember that
'ithrixa' means computer). However, considering that I was 12 at the time,
I doubt my family would think much of that today :)

Ronnes, however, has a way of sticking without any effort at all.
