Re: Baby conlang L3 needs a name

Thanks Henrik for priming the pump. I started looking at city names etc.
then I saw a major geographic phenomemon that I presume that no one has
latched on to that I can see: they Pyrenees mountains. I did a bit of
etymological digging and found that this name hails from Greek mythology and
is synonymous with the Greek name Pelopia. This gave me a great basis to
work with an apply sound changes to. I am please to announce the name of my
new conlang:

English name: Pilovian. (One could even use the name Pyrenean as well)
Pilovian name: Pilova. (Not to be confused with a Slavic name due to the
"ova" ending.)

Conlang and Designer are doing very well. Many of my friends say that my
conlang looks just like me ;-)

Stay tuned as I have completed the Babel text but I need to let it "age"
just a bit so that I can smoothe out any wrinkles.

I am sure Cantabrian was something I considered for Terkunan, too. :-)

It would have been very boring with Terkunan sound shifts: Roman.

I chose a city name then: today's Tarragona.  Maybe that's an option?
