Appendix A:   Demonymns, Ethnonymns, and Place Names

 

Toponyms, demonyms and other proper names are a phonetic rendering  of the native name, to the extent Ithkuil’s phoneme inventory allows.  Ithkuil phonotactic restraints do not apply as long as the name is pronounceable.  The two new affixes below are available for use as appropriate.

Names of Continents

 

These are preceded by the carrier stem form usarç or usarça:

 

Africa:  usarça  áfrika                                     Antarctica: usarça  antárktika                                    Asia:  usarça  asya                           Europe:  usarça  europa

Oceania: usarça  oseanya                            North America: usarçaidna  amérika                      South America:  usarçuidna  amérika              

 

 

 

Names of Oceans 

 

These are preceded by the word hluséi-bwala [Carrier Stem 3 concatenated with Stem 1 of -BW- ‘ocean’] meaning ‘ocean named...’.   The Southern Ocean (a.k.a. Antarctic) does not use the carrier stem, instead simply utilizing the Type-2 OCG/9 affix ‘southern’ with stem 1 of -BW- ‘ocean’.  As an alternative to incorporating the carrier stem, a carrier adjunct with ESS case hle’i may be used or the SPF register adjunct hi.

 

Pacific Ocean:  hluséi-bwala pasífika  OR  bwala  hi  pasífika                        Atlantic Ocean:  hluséi-bwala atlantis  OR  bwala  hi  atlantis  

Indian Ocean:  hluséi-bwala indus  OR  bwala  hi  indus                                  Arctic Ocean:  hluséi-bwala arktos  OR  bwala  hi  arktos                  

Southern/Antarctic Ocean:  bwaluidna  

 

 

 

Names of Seas and Lakes

 

These are preceded by the word hluséi-bwaleuxa (‘smaller ocean named...’) if referring to a large mostly landlocked salt-water sea (e.g., Mediterranean, Black, Azov), or hlusé-bwalafta (‘section of an ocean named...’ utilizing the POR – Portion or Section affix -ft-) if referring to a section or sub-section of a larger sea or ocean (e.g., Baltic, South China, North). 

 

-ft

POR   Portion or Section

Mediterranean Sea:  hluséi-bwaloufta mediterra

Baltic Sea:  hluséi-bwalëufta balt   

Black Sea:  hraxmé-bwaleufta

Sea of Azov:  hluséi-bwaleifta  azof

Caribbean Sea:  hluséi-bwalëufta karíb

North Sea:  bwalaidneufta

Bering Sea:  hluséi-bwalëufta  bering

Arabian Sea:  hluséi-bwalëufta arab

1

smallest possible portion/section/amount of a larger whole

2

extremely small portion/section/amount of a larger whole

3

small portion/section/amount of a larger whole

4

somewhat small portion/section/amount of a larger whole

5

a portion/section or  amount of a larger whole

6

a significantly-sized portion/section/amount of a larger whole

7

(approximately) half of X in terms of portion/amount or the size of a section

8

a majority-sized portion/section/amount of a whole

9

almost the entire portion/amount of a whole

 

Those examples above utilizing an incorporated carrier stem may alternately be expressed using the carrier adjunct hle’i or the SPF register adjunct hi, i.e., bwaloufta  hi  mediterra,  bwalëufta hi balt,  bwaleifta  hi  azof, bwalëufta  hi  karíb, etc. 

 

Large saltwater lakes not connected to the world ocean (e.g., Caspian Sea, Aral Sea) use Stem 3 of -BW- ‘saltwater lake’ rather than Stem 1 in conjunction with the appropriate SIZ affix -x-.  Freshwater lakes use Stem 1 of -LZ- while freshwater inland seas use Stem 3 of -LZ-.

 

          Caspian Sea:  hluséi-wubwiuxa kaspi                                          Aral Sea:  hluséi-wubwoixäkta  aral                           Lake Baikal:  hluséi-wubwoixa baikál

 

          Lake Geneva:  hluséi-wubwoixa  ženév                                      Lake Erie:  hluséi-walziuxa  érìe                                    Sea of Galilee:  hluséi-wulza  kínneret

 

 

Progressively smaller sub-sections of oceans such as gulfs, bays, bights, and sounds attach various degrees of the POR affix to hlusé-bwala or bwala  hle’i / hi.

 

          Bay of Biscay:  hluséi-bwaleufta  biskaya                                  Bight of Benin:  hluséi-bwalaufta  benín                  Gulf of Mexico:  hluséi-bwaleufta  méxiko

 

          San Francisco Bay:  hluséi-bwalaifta  sanfransisko                Hudson Bay:  hluséi-bwaleufta  hëdsën                   James Bay:  hluséi-bwaleifta  jeimz

 

 

 

Names of Terrestrial Landmarks

 

The roots -JL- ‘mountainous topography’,  -ZH- ‘desert/steppe/tundra’, --  ‘valley/canyon/ gorge’ and -LZW- estuary / river delta’ are likewise used with the carrier stem or carrier adjunct.

 

          Gobi Desert:  hluséi-wazha  gob                 Andes Mountains:  hluséi-ejlarçta  andes                                                 Central Asian Steppe:  hluséi-wezhoixidna  asya

 

          Grand Canyon:  wevňiuxa                              Himalaya Mountains:  hluséi-ejlarçta  himálaya                    Tibetan Plateau:  hluséi-wujliuxa  phö

 

          Siberian Tundra:  hluséi-wuzha sibír          Niagara Falls:  hluséi-urţrarfta  nayagra                                    Amazon River Delta:  hluséi-welzwa  amazonas

 

 

 

Names of Large Rivers

 

The native names of rivers often vary depending on the various enthnographic domains they pass through.  In some instances, I have chosen the dominant ethonymn (e.g., dijla for the Tigris), in other instances I have combined names (e.g., caňpobrahmaputra for the Brahmaputra), while in others I have used a form derived from an underlying proto-language (e.g., purát for the Euphrates, danu for the Danube). The following names are preceded by hluséi-welza  OR  welza  hle’i / hi  river named...’ (Carrier Stem 3 incorporated into Stem 2 of the root -LZ-).

Names of Countries

 

These are preceded by the carrier stem form wusuḑca (meaning approximately ‘land/country of [the] ...’ ), or if the context makes clear that a country is being spoken of, or if the speaker knows the audience is familiar with the name as being a country, then simply wusa. 

 

For countries with multiple names due to multiple official languages (e.g., Switzerland, Belgium, Ethiopia, Mauritania), one name has been arbitrarily selected.  Names consisting of words denoting a governance structure (e.g., United States of, Republic, Democratic Republic, etc.) or directional words (e.g., South) are shown in notes following the tables.

NOTE:  For countries whose names contain governance structures (e.g., the Democratic Republic of Congo), such words are translated directly into New Ithkuil, with the carrier stem then being incorporated to reference the part of the name which is a proper noun.  For countries whose name contains a directional or orientational word (e.g., South Sudan), the new OGC affix is employed on the carrier stem.  The full names (including carrier-stem) of such countries are listed below:

 

 

Central African Republic:   hlusëudnéi-eḑtila  áfrika         Democratic Republic of Congo:  hlaḑtáu-eḑtila  hi  kongo
