I made up most of the place names before creating the language, so they don't mean anything. So I'm trying to fix that. <p>Often the meaning will go back to Wede:i. An example is Niormen. I used to assign this to Axunashin <i>Nivurmen</i>, which was "royal" + (something unknown). Unfortunately, re-checking the sound changes, I found that this should have become Xurnese <i>Nayburmen</i>.<p>So now it's <i>Nayormen</i>, which does properly become <i>Niormen</i> in Xurnese, and derives from Wede:i <i>Na:iworma:n</i>. That means 'Greater Na:iwor', that being a city, whose name means 'bird of the west'.
