Lalafell Naming Convention

 

---------------------------

Lalafell - Plainsfolk

---------------------------

 

Both Plainsfolk and Dunsefolk Lalafell names are ruled by rhythm, repetition, and rhyming (as well as a little alliteration). Syllable count also plays a large part. There are four unique sets of rules, and these rules are rarely deviated from. Once the rules are learned, one will be able to discern a Lalafell’s clan and gender by simply looking at a name.

 

The Lalafellin language (used by the clans before they arrived in Eorzea) originally only possessed five distinct vowels: a e i o u. The pronunciations are as follows:

 

a (“ah” as in arm)

e (“eh” as in bet)

i (“ee” as in beet)

o (“oh” as in home)

u (“ooh” as in dude).

 

Surnames are only surnames in placement, as they are not taken from the mother or father and are unique to the individual.

 

Male

 

1. The phoneme pattern used is AB - CB

2. The A and C phonemes do not have to rhyme.

3. The A, B, and C phonemes are usually limited to one or two syllables.

 

- Zorido Manarido

- Kopel Yorpel

- Alka Zolka

- Waguda Mabaguda

 

Fun Fact: In everyday speech, Plainsfolk males will usually always use their full names, rarely ever breaking them down into solely first or last.

 

Female

 

1. The phoneme pattern used is ABB - AB.

2. The A and B phonemes are always one syllable, and most often a single consonant paired with a single vowel, or simply a single vowel.

 

- Mimomo Mimo

- Tokiki Toki

- Ulala Ula

- Honmeme Honme

 

---------------------------

Lalafell - Dunesfolk

---------------------------

 

Male

 

1. The phoneme pattern used is AAB - CCB

2. The A and C phonemes are 1 syllable, the B phoneme 2.

3. The A and C phonemes may rhyme, but do not have to.

4. Syllables are most often a single consonant paired with a single vowel, or simply a single vowel.

 

- Jajariku Nanariku (rhyming)

- Momomena Lolomena (rhyming)

- Nunulupa Tatalupa (non-rhyming)

- Fafajoni Kukujoni (non-rhyming)

 

There are rare cases when the B phoneme will ‘seemingly’ have one syllable such as Zozonan or Nanalai. The ‘n’ and ‘i’ here are, in fact, the remnants of sounds that were once paired with a Lalafellin vowel that, over time, has disappeared from speech, and therefore become silent in names.

 

Female

 

1. The phoneme pattern used is AAB - AB

2. The A and B phonemes are 1 syllable (with the A phoneme always repeated in the forename).

3. Syllables are most often a single consonant paired with a single vowel, or simply a single vowel.
