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.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.

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.
zyphos-name-briefs.mdL18 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".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.settings/eusocial-interbeing/language-design.mdLlanguage-design.mdL55 and table rows intable.yamlwithprovenance: deru). The table.yaml provenance tag is the project's own convention, so this is acceptable, but the claim "settled" onth("as relayed") rests on a relay. Please record the original message/source id.no_doubled_letters_inside_morphemerule is deleted fromtable.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", sonames.yamlwill flag valid Airawa forms if Deru says they are single. State in the commit/PR that those flags are provisional.settings/rust-to-dust/imperial/language-design.mdL106 respellsSa'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.Checker review:
units()treatsthas one consonant and everything else not inaeiouas a consonant; the apostrophe is stripped beforeunits, so it does not separate letters (tested).check_namesjoins morphemes and compares to the written form; unknown language and unknown morphemes flagged. The tests pin each rule. I did not run them; runpython3 -I -m unittestinsa-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.
