2/x will not understand what you mean calling someone a Romeo. Now multiply this idea by things that are clear to us like ground, air, human are all concepts we basically understand thanks to our internalized knowledge through our human society. We learn from childhood on what the ground is, what earth can mean. For the Somwhar it wasn't so clear. In their first translations it simply referred to dirt.
A lot of work had to be done and a lot of mistakes where made. Still today only the main Somwhar dialect can be easily translated into Union Standard despite them being a core member world for more than 50 years.

The original name is not speakable do to our set-up of vocal cords and lip usage, in case of the Somwhar their "lips" to articulate sit in their throat, around the area where Terrans/Humans have their larynx, thus Somwhar

This new thread will contain random stuff I have in mind for Star Ryde and maybe other ideas for Galaxy Glyde too, at this point my brain is full with plot Bunny's and I really want to share a bit of it beyond the prompt games. Language may very between English and German but I try to keep it mostly English.

Since Mondira Ramann only exists thanks to the prompts anyway, besides her name, I think it may be fitting do develop her here further.

Often shortened to Mon, Mondi rarely Dira or Dori sometimes mistaken for Monica/Monika.

The name itself is relative new only exists for a bit over 75 years.
It's origin is bad translation of an Somwhar name. Especially in the beginning the translation of Somwhar language was difficult.

Because for a translation to make Sense a lot of Knowledge has to be gathered, without Shakespeare most people
