No... How many people on this list have conlangs with
initial /v/ apart from me? If I'm thinking correctly,
it's not that common.

Again, if I'm thinking correctly, there was a large
response to this question on language naming about 2-3
mos back -- perhaps if you see the archives for
reference, because I do recall loads on the topic.
As for mine, Vya:a:h is simply the combination of =vy=
(one, as in #1 and not the indef.art.) and =a:a:h=
(language). Hence, it means "One Language" -- as in
Language #1.

PS - Congrats on the naming of your conlang, I liked
the meanings of the derivatives of the name --
especially "scared tree" (vil, right?).
