Greek Conspiracy
9 years ago
I'm trying to make a setting for a story I'm thinking of playing around with but I'm trying to give micros there own names and I'm having trouble. I decided to very loosely base their culture on the Greeks but that's precisely the problem.
My first choice for what to call the micros in my story's setting was the Greek word for small. Turns out that's "Mikro."
The second was "people," since that's what they'd actually like call themselves. Turns out that's "Anthropoi."
So I've got micro and anthro.
...
That won't do. It's a Greek conspiracy, I tell you!
Edit:
Pygmy = Pygmaios
Pariah = Parias
Nano = Nano
*Screams*

sightsound, so I never knew just how extensive it was! I mean I knew it was a major root for us but it's like everything that's not Germanic or Latin is Greek!Either way though I chose Laosians. And macros will be called theorates by micros.
That's hilarious! Also gave me an idea of what macros should call micros. I don't think that someone would name their kind after what noises they made, but other groups sure could! Thanks, dude!
