Does anyone know the singular for these ancestry names?


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


I'm going to use Anadi, Iruxi, and Sekmin (serpentfolk) in a game, but I don't have any idea what the singular form of each of those names is. Have there ever been examples of these being used singular?

Sekmin seem to be the same in both plural and singular, but 'anadis' and 'iruxis' both pop up in LO Mwangi Expanse as a plural form, it seems. (With anadi and iruxi as the singulars - there is no 'anad' or 'irux'.)

'Kay. Thanks. :)

Something to consider: all the other ancestries have their names written singular (it's "human" for example, not "humans"), so there's no reason to assume these would be any different.

I have honestly never paid attention to humans.

Also kind of wouldn't help with Sekmin, as they aren't playable.

Yet! :D


If you want a playable snake ancestry, the Nagaji already exist and don't have the burden of being slumbering horrors waiting to reclaim their surface domains, and their canonical lack of empathy or care for humanoid life. I feel like letting Serpentfolk be playable makes them redeemable, which downplays their threat since they're supposed to be such irredeemably and unrelenting monsters that the Azlanti, who were themselves no altruists, had to step in and exterminate them and even they couldn't do it completely. At best, I would say that maybe the Nagaji were originally degenerate serpentfolk uplifted by Nalinivati - tied them distantly together, but still keep them separate.

As for plurals, I might suggest Sekmini and Aapophi for their degenerated descendants, Anada, and Iruxui. And for a bonus, I've always liked to think that the plural of Aasimar is Aasimiri.
