I feel like kicking someone in the nuts. Brot’ân’duivé... Tosân’leag... Gleannéohkân’thva... Cuirin’nen’a and my favorite, Sgäilsheilleache á Oshâgäirea gan’Coilehkrotall. Really? Seriously, really? Try to juggle names like these on every second line in your translation! My fingers are permanently attached to Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V! Yeesh!

as a writter - I can't imagine using names like that. it would be way to hard. I wonder if when it was written the writter used names like "Bob" while writting?

It's really a major pain in the butt when you have to copy and past every name you use because it's so complicated! Do the authors think that people actually read the names?

It's really annoying when you have to do it hour after hour, day after day X(
