Pet-Names!

For fun, I am going to share with you "Pet-names" (I call them "Cute-names") that the Gerudo use to refer to friends, family, and other people they endear (or want to annoy).

I am going to make use of my new web-page-building skill and make a table. There is one simple rule for using these names: 1). One must shorten the name and then add the name suffix or if you cannot, then leave the name as is and then add the name-suffix.

Gerudo Meaning
--lauka Male who is older (Seven Years and older)
--naril Unmarried Female (7+ years older)
--karil Married (Literally means: Kidnapped Woman)(7+ Years older)
--janto Male of the Same age
--esha Female of the Same age
--Mak Younger Male (Five years younger)
--Mah Younger Female
