There's no harm in finding new names, once the creatures step beyond the
boundaries of Tolkien's world. I mean, I took my Lakhabrech from Tolkien's
Orcs and Wild Men, stripped them free of the encumbering Tolkien background,
gave them a name and found a new background for them, and finally parsed the
name (Yhe - the; Lakh(a) - free; brech - blood; the blood is free, the Free
Blood), then found I had two other branches of the family/species tree, Nu
Ineya Khara-Ansha (The People of the Sacred Hunt); Li' Rakhebuitya (The
Fisheaters.).
And most of that happened in the underworld/background of what passes for my
mind!
