Create names for the Northern tribes and lands about language HOT 9 CLOSED

Thoughts on language composition:

• All languages in the area could be 50% Amerindian

Remaining percentages could be something like this:

• Glacial could include 30% Inuit, 15% Finnish, and 5% Dwarvish
• Arboreal could contain some percentage of 5% Quenya and 45% Old Norse
• Plains could include some percentage of 40% Mongolian and 10% Old Norse
• Hills could include some percentage of 40% Tibetan and 10% Dwarvish
• Western coasts could include 25% Gaelic and %25 Old Norse
• Southern coasts could include 45% Maori and 5% Old Norse
• Eastern bay could include 40% Maori, 5% Dwarvish, and 5% Old Norse
• Southern islands could include 20% Maori, 20% Hawai'ian, and 5% Old Norse

For naming the tribes, use the word for "people" in each of the languages, and select from random mutations on combinations? This will require a new feature in the library ...

The winners for me are:

• óðantu
• óðun
• waunun
• watu

I think there's a nice way to combine those, maybe create 2 or 3 language groups, and then all together, the'd be called the Óðantu ... (pronounced o-than-tu with the "th" is voiced, not aspirated).
