: : Well....
: : Anh sounds too... er... hentai ^^;
: Heh, okay.
Well...if she dresses in provocative clothes and stuff, wouldn't that be a perfect fit? ^^;;;
: Random weirdness: the fourth page of my Google search for "Ayn pronounced" included a link to Rebecca Capowski's Phantasy Star Compendium translation.
Haw!
: : Personally, I saw Gol at that labyrinth when the word popped up :P
: Noted. :)
Gooooooooooooooooooollllllllll!
I dunno, I vote for either Gor or Gore, for seperate but both sentimental reasons. ^^;
: : As for the last guy... hmm. I dunno. 'sup to you guys I guess.
: Well, we could have Ann, Gol, and Mor. I dunno.
Moa fits with me for some reason.
: Grass World: "Terra" sounds kinda nice to me, although the meaning seems a little different (alluding more to earth than to grass). Another one I've come up with is "Verda" from verdant ("Covered with growing plants or grass; green; fresh; flourishing; as, verdant fields; a verdant lawn."). How does that sound to you? I'm still debating whether it sounds weird or not, but the meaning seems pretty solid.
Verda sounds nice.
: Flower World: I like "Flora." It seems to fit, too.
This one's really good.
: Forest World: I agree that Horta sounds...off. :) Also, horticulture has more to do with gardening (Webster's says it's from Latin hortus, garden). But I've got another suggestion. How about...Sylva! As it turns out, "sylvan" means "Relating to or characteristic of woods or forest regions (American Heritage Dictionary)" and that kinda stuff. In fact, "sylva" itself is a word meaning "The forest trees of a region or country, considered collectively (Webster's)." It kinda all fits, to me at least. I vote for Verda (maybe), Flora, and Sylva, myself...anyone have any other ideas?
Hmmm...I dunno if I like Sylva for forest as it might create some confusion between it and Sylvalant...it'd be best to give it a more distict name, but, just how I feel. This is actually the only name I would oppose, the other ones are kinda fine either way.
