How goliath names work

Kaluthi is a language of open syllables and steady rhythm, with consonants like k, th, l, n and v set between clear vowels. Birth names often run three or four syllables, with the stress on the second-to-last.

A goliath's nickname is given by their clan and can change over a lifetime, recording what they did: "Cloudthrower", "Snowgazer", "Oathbreaker" (a name nobody wants to keep). It stands between birth name and clan in quotation marks.

The clan name is a stone-speech compound with a meaning, often naming the place the clan first wintered: "Lake-ice", "Hearth-sky".

Tips for choosing

Let the nickname change during the campaign. Promote a character from "Snowgazer" to "Peakbreaker" after a great deed.
Goliaths call each other by nickname in daily life. Save the full name for oaths and funerals.

About this language. Kaluthi is constructed by Namewright. Its words and meanings are our own invention, not a reconstruction of anything historical. It is not the language of any published game, and not Tolkien's Sindarin or Quenya. The human naming cultures on this site are different: they use real historical name-elements.
