MADOWEH MANATORI
Manatorian Names

Public names among the isolated red men of Manator follow an ancient and idiosyncratic formula, combining an initial vowel sound representing one of the five major Houses or lines of descent of the Manatorian people, with a single word in the Common Language.  In the case of slaves, the vowel appears as a suffix, and denotes ownership by the indicated house rather than affiliation.
