Names and public terms
What places are called in Fluidian, and the vocabulary of government, office and wrongdoing.
How a place name is treated
A foreign name is written as it is heard and then made to obey the stress rule, which means the ending usually moves. Four patterns account for nearly all of it.
- A final vowel is dropped where the name would otherwise be stressed in the wrong place: Warsaw is Varsov, Marseille is Marsil, Ljubljana is Lubian.
- A capital or a large city keeps a final -i where the source has one: Bucharest is Bucaresti, Budapest is Budapesti.
- A smaller town takes -y, the same ending that makes a place name from an adjective: Thessaloniki is Salony, Katowice is Katovicy, Cluj is Clujy.
- A cluster the language will not say is broken by an inserted vowel: Brno is Birno.
Names taken whole are left whole. Prague is Praha. Ostrava has two forms, Ostrov and Ostrava, and both are current; the shorter form is older and is the one used in the depots.
