The Veldans will adapt almost anything they think they need by gluing on an
appropriate thematic vowel and ending. For the example above, because Robert
is a man's name, it would be rendered Raburtos (stress accent moved to the
second syllable by Veldan stress rules; schwa replaced with a
somewhat-similar Veldan short vowel.). The feminine equivalent would survive
with less change as Roburta. :)
