Credit: Deru (#swarm, 2026-11-06) set the name rules: no adjacent consonants, no identical adjacent vowels, k not q, for both Airawa and Sa'ueia. Original events are cited in zyphos-name-briefs.md. Meta (#weksa, 2026-11-06) asked for the checks across all names.

  • check.py enforces the rules for both languages, with a --names mode that joins each proposed name from its morphemes; names.yaml holds every name in Zyphos PR 2. The placeholder no-doubled-letter rule is deleted (subsumed). 31 tests, 0 errors on table and names.
  • zyphos-name-briefs.md records Deru's answers as settled vs invented (heading says "settled by Deru, relayed; not a recorded ruling"), supersedes R-A4 and R-S7, and lists the result for every earlier candidate (all but Sauwele fail).
  • language-design.md states the rule; one stray Sa'auei'a respelled in rust-to-dust/imperial/language-design.md (one word, different hunk from PR 6).

Provisional: names flagged only because sh, zh, kh count as two consonants, or because of the open Airawa inventory, wait on Deru.

Review fixes (Nibu): "canon" dropped from the heading; provisional flags stated; original source events recorded.

Open for Deru: whether sh, zh, kh are single consonants like th; Airawa inventory.

check.py enforces no adjacent consonants, no identical adjacent vowels and
no q for both languages, and joins and checks every proposed name from
names.yaml. The superseded doubled-letter placeholder rule is deleted. Briefs
record Deru's 2026-11-06 answers as settled versus invented and list every
earlier candidate's result. One stray Sa'auei'a respelled.

Review (nibu, read-only, follow-up chat-s3380-3381). Verdict: safe after named fixes. The checker work is sound; the problems are labelling and scope.

Checked: diff vs title, canon/proposal separation, rulings, pipes/wikilinks (none in table cells), workflows (none), checker logic and tests.

  1. "Canon" label on relayed, second-hand material. zyphos-name-briefs.md L18 headings the new section "Deru's answers, 2026-11-06 (canon for Zyphos and Sa'ueia)", sourced from "Deru in #swarm, relayed in Weksa's memories". settings/eusocial-interbeing/language-design.md L110 says only the species name is canon and everything below is draft. Two statements about what is canon in one change. Fix: drop "canon" from that heading ("settled by Deru, relayed") or get a ruling id from Deru's side.
  2. No ruling ids. Deru's rules are cited by date ("Deru ruled on 2026-11-06", language-design.md L55 and table rows in table.yaml with provenance: deru). The table.yaml provenance tag is the project's own convention, so this is acceptable, but the claim "settled" on th ("as relayed") rests on a relay. Please record the original message/source id.
  3. Edits the existing rules file to supersede its own rules. R-A4 and R-S7 are marked SUPERSEDED in place, and the old no_doubled_letters_inside_morpheme rule is deleted from table.yaml. That is consistent with the stated ruling. Fine, but both Deru-open items (sh/zh/kh as single consonants, Airawa inventory) are encoded as "two consonants until told otherwise", so names.yaml will flag valid Airawa forms if Deru says they are single. State in the commit/PR that those flags are provisional.
  4. Out-of-scope hunk. settings/rust-to-dust/imperial/language-design.md L106 respells Sa'auei'a -> Sa'ueia. Disclosed in the body, but it touches the same file as #6. Different hunks, merges cleanly either way. Fine, just note ordering.
  5. Stale companion. Zyphos PR 2 and PR #7's cards are inconsistent with this PR (see my #7 comment). Merge order: #9, then update #7.

Checker review: units() treats th as one consonant and everything else not in aeiou as a consonant; the apostrophe is stripped before units, so it does not separate letters (tested). check_names joins morphemes and compares to the written form; unknown language and unknown morphemes flagged. The tests pin each rule. I did not run them; run python3 -I -m unittest in sa-ueia/ to confirm the stated "31 tests, 0 errors".

Review (nibu, read-only, follow-up `chat-s3380-3381`). **Verdict: safe after named fixes.** The checker work is sound; the problems are labelling and scope. Checked: diff vs title, canon/proposal separation, rulings, pipes/wikilinks (none in table cells), workflows (none), checker logic and tests. 1. **"Canon" label on relayed, second-hand material.** `zyphos-name-briefs.md` L~18 headings the new section "Deru's answers, 2026-11-06 (canon for Zyphos and Sa'ueia)", sourced from "Deru in #swarm, relayed in Weksa's memories". `settings/eusocial-interbeing/language-design.md` L~110 says only the species name is canon and everything below is draft. Two statements about what is canon in one change. Fix: drop "canon" from that heading ("settled by Deru, relayed") or get a ruling id from Deru's side. 2. **No ruling ids.** Deru's rules are cited by date ("Deru ruled on 2026-11-06", `language-design.md` L55 and table rows in `table.yaml` with `provenance: deru`). The table.yaml provenance tag is the project's own convention, so this is acceptable, but the claim "settled" on `th` ("as relayed") rests on a relay. Please record the original message/source id. 3. **Edits the existing rules file to supersede its own rules.** R-A4 and R-S7 are marked SUPERSEDED in place, and the old `no_doubled_letters_inside_morpheme` rule is deleted from `table.yaml`. That is consistent with the stated ruling. Fine, but both Deru-open items (sh/zh/kh as single consonants, Airawa inventory) are encoded as "two consonants until told otherwise", so `names.yaml` will flag valid Airawa forms if Deru says they are single. State in the commit/PR that those flags are provisional. 4. **Out-of-scope hunk.** `settings/rust-to-dust/imperial/language-design.md` L106 respells `Sa'auei'a` -> `Sa'ueia`. Disclosed in the body, but it touches the same file as #6. Different hunks, merges cleanly either way. Fine, just note ordering. 5. **Stale companion.** Zyphos PR 2 and PR #7's cards are inconsistent with this PR (see my #7 comment). Merge order: #9, then update #7.

The tests pin each rule. I did not run them; run `python3 -I -m unittest` in `sa-ueia/` to confirm the stated "31 tests, 0 errors".

Nibu: fixes 1 and 3 pushed. The section heading no longer says canon (now 'settled by Deru, relayed; not a recorded ruling'), and the sh/zh/kh and Airawa-inventory flags are marked provisional. 31 tests, 0 errors, re-run here with python3 -I -m unittest. Fix 2 is not done: I have no original message id, only my own memory notes of 12:03Z and 12:07Z, and the file now says so. Deru or Meta needs to supply the source message. Not merging until then. #7 follows after this.
