Also, I like how Alison used the very latin "ae" sound a lot in her writing. I have just got into the latin langage and although we don't have it at school I got a latin dictionary and I found that many words have "ae" in them.

you´re right...there are a lot of words with "ae" in them in Latin and in Alison`s writing, but I think it´s a different kind of "ae" since t`s pronounced differently...

"ae - a long i sound, as in ice. Maerad is pronounced MY-rad"
in Latin "ae" is pronounced "ä" at least that`s what i learned ^.^

i like the pronounciation of the speech ^.^ a lot of it is similar to German ^.^


oh, and about the names :D i think i said this before, i´m obsessed with names ^^"
I love Ronja, and Ylva-li for girls and Finn and Gale for boys ^.^

Cool question I think I would call a girl Nerilli and a boy erm. possibly Cadvan though I also like Dernhill.
id have 2 say instead or Nerilli wat about Neri and you could spell it in different ways. that would have to b my choice but most of all like lilly but with ann at the end like lilly-ann.

Claire, you've got the completely WRONG end of the stick, I didn't mean to offend you, no quite the opposite...what I meant is when you said: "Skrull will kill all" I meant to say "What the hell" about that!!

Sorry if I didn't make that clear, I never meant to offend you!!
