About selkath names
Open vowels close every result, from "Ga" and "Vu" to "Se", two-letter sounds that bubble more than they bark. They read like the surface form of longer underwater speech, which is a useful conceit for envoys and kolto traders in an Old Republic flavored Star Wars story. Combine two results when a Selkath needs a formal court name.
How selkath names are built
Each Selkath name is a single synthesized word with no surname, assembled by the syllable engine from an onset bank of twenty and a large continuation bank of fifty-four. An onset fragment opens the word and one or more continuation fragments close it, so a short result like Jalu and a longer one like Stachosta come from the same two banks. Because the engine never adds a family part, every output is one whole given word.
Sheraste
Sheraste (onset + continuation fragments via the syllable engine)
Salerre
Salerre (onset + continuation fragments via the syllable engine)
Voanel
Voanel (onset + continuation fragments via the syllable engine)
Naming notes
The banks favour sibilants and liquids with double-vowel endings (Sheraste, Salerre, Jalu, Voanel), giving a watery, sliding cadence with no surname attached. Length shifts only by how many continuation fragments the engine chains, never by gender, since this generator is gender-neutral. Use these as single given names for original characters in fan fiction or tabletop play styled after this Star Wars species.
Questions about selkath names

- A single given name. The Selkath engine opens from a 20-entry onset bank and grows through continuation fragments, with no surname slot in the pattern.
- Do Selkath names change shape by gender?
- No. Selkath names have no gender split; length is the only variable, set by how many continuation fragments follow the onset.
- Are these official Selkath names?
- No. They are unofficial Selkath-style names generated for your own use, not taken from any official source.
