@renudist @[email protected] wait until you see the list of lengthened names. If it’s short, it gets lengthened, long gets shortened. For example, names like John become Johnno, Jim becomes Jimbo.

@terry_dactil @SydneyJim so is the key basically to add “o” to things, and if it doesn’t sound right, then shorten it and add “o?” Maybe “o” is a definite article suffix like “en” and “et” in Swedish?

@renudist @[email protected] no rules, no reasoning, a bit of a mystery but it just unfolds naturally depending on context.
