SHH! Damn it! :-P I did not write 20-30 paragraphs of RP in the last 2-3 days only to die. <_< I am SO bringing his crazy sister Lentias in, since Lentias = Sentinel in Arkahn'a and Ehndras = Guardian, derived from the English words in reverse. :-P Ahh, early Arkhan'a... How simple you were to design.

Ehndras = Naidraug = Guardian
Lentias = Lenitnes = Sentinel

That's pretty much the logic my language used while I was 9-12 years old.

I am seeing the Naidraug=Guardian but how did Ehndras end up equalling Naidraug?

That's the point. :-)

I needed a word that meant Guardian so I reversed it - voila, Naidraug. Now, I need a good, well-flowing name that's easy to pronounce in my Latinized Arabesque accent yet different enough from the originating word. Naidraug... N-draug... En-draug... Endra... Ehndras. And there we go.

Most of my language came about that way.

If I had my lap... Wait, I brought my laptop to work today! Derp. I'll post from my laptop in a second, going to find my out-dated Lexicon of Arkhan'a (because I can't seem to find the modern one among the 15 copies of it I have :-|) and post some examples here.

Some words are purposely derived from real-life words, paying homage. Lucien, Lucius, Lucivel, obviously derived from Lux. Others are relatively derived, like "Kaanter", Language, being derived from "Prison Cant", a term for secret codes developed by gangs and secret organizations.

Reviving this topic since I finally gained Lordship in Rio, have stable internet, am financially stable, and my writer's block has buggered off.

If anyone is interested in joining me in Belluatera for when I found the religion, or would be interested in helping me iron own the details since I'm rusty as well and the system could use some refinement, just shoot me a message. :-)

I'm perfectly willing to provide IRC, Skype, Facebook, or other means of communication for the purpose of helping me with my soon-to-be religion. Much appreciated!~
