About male weequay names
How male weequay names are built
Each Weequay result is a synthesized given name plus a short surname, with female givens from a short three-slot chain and male givens from either of two longer chains, all sharing a three-slot surname builder. The two largest male fragment banks (sixty-two and sixty-one entries) feed the longer stacked givens.
Grart benc
Grart (male given) + benc (surname, built from the three-slot chain)
Baz tos
Baz (female given, three fragments) + tos (surname)
Peimier klanc
Peimier (stacked male given) + klanc (surname)
Naming notes
The fragments favour hard k and c stops and short clipped vowels (Grart, benc, tos, krand) for a leathery, blunt cadence, and the short surnames snap the line shut. Male givens can repeat a middle fragment pair in either chain. Use these as given-plus-surname pairs for pirate or mercenary original characters in fan fiction and tabletop styled after this species.
