About vanara names
Rolling three-syllable results like "Vivalah", "Kachomuh", and "Thathamul" run vowel to vowel without a hard stop anywhere. That swing suits vanara player characters in Pathfinder, monks and scouts whose names should move the way they do. The um and un endings give a graver tone, useful when an acrobatic people needs a solemn elder or monastery head.
How vanara names are built
Single-word names chain fragment banks, the largest holding 34 entries. A short pattern joins five fragments; a longer pattern inserts two more in the middle. Worked examples from the bank: "Vivalah", "Rustonin", "Yukremum".
Vivalah
Vi + va + lah (fragment chain)
Rustonin
Rus + to + nin (fragment chain)
Yukremum
Yuk + re + mum (longer fragment chain)
Naming notes
The sound is rounded and rhythmic with repeated vowels and -ah, -un, -um endings (Vivalah, Kachomuh, Yukremum). Short draws read plain, longer ones formal. Gender-neutral, for monkey-folk characters in this style.
