@Steg How is this tongue-in-cheek? Steg is Swedish and Norwegian for step. |

Liis It's good to use real languages for inspiration, as the words that come from them will have more basis than anything we arbitrarily make up. That said, we can be creative with it too, and mold the words to better fit the language. Steg does fit the language already in terms of spelling, but could perhaps be shifted to something like stek or staak. |

Liis@Freymulaar,
Then it is even more tongue-in-cheek if we directly copied another language.

It would bother me greatly to have the word for step be the same exact spelling except for one letter. I'd be much happier with originality and creativeness going for something from Pahrk That said, dovahzul is no stranger to tongue-in-cheekness. With words like Ru and Fus. |

I'll be happy too, provided the word ends up being different enough from Pahrk. The words shouldn't look weird when they appear together. |

This word should change to separate it from "Naak" and its related words. Something from "Aak" is still doable, but can be done without implicating "Naak." I suggest a simple alteration such as "Draak," "Maak," or "Zaak" (all of which are non-canon words which would need to be revised). "Raak" is untaken. |
