\\n
\\nHow do we come up with names? How do we do it in ways that enhance our worldbuilding? What are the elements that give our invented naming schemes (even the zany ones with lots of syllables and apostrophes) verisimilitude?
\\n
\\nIn this episode we talk about some of the tricks we\'ve used, the pitfalls we\'ve avoided, and conlangs in general.
\\n
\\nLiner Notes: In Episode 12.51 we discuss Conlangs ("constructed languages")with Dirk Elzinga.
