Aquatic Elf and Aquatic Half-Elf Endonyms

[zimmerwald1915]

Do these ancestries have endonymic equivalents to "Aiudeen," "Ayindilar," "Mualijae," and "Vourinoi;" and "Aiuvarin," respectively? If so, what are they?

"Shoreborn" exists for aquatic Aiuvarin, but has "obsoleted-by-2E" vibes.

Lost Omen Character Guide mention aquatic elves without giving them one, but the different Aiuvarin ethnicities do get reprinted in there as Gateborn (Aiudeen), Mistborn (Mualijae), Shoreborn (aquatic), Snowborn (Ilverani), Spireborn (Spiresworn), and Hollowborn (previously drow, maybe will be kept for Ayindilar now).

I have a similar question. The endonyms of serpentfolk and troglodytes are sekmin and xulgath respectively (plural forms are sekmins and xulgaths). Likewise, do elves, dwarves, gnomes, halflings, kobolds, orcs, goblins, and boggards have their own endonym too?

pretty sure all of those are already endonymns that's used as the "English translation of the Common word" for those names.

Very true, except likely for halflings.

I proposed Shirelings for them some time ago.

Given the remaster happened last year because of WotC suddenly deciding to play at being litigious with their licences, I'm not sure we really want to provoke the sleeping beast that is Tolkien's estate by referring to any such things as small humanoids and shires in the same sentence, unfortunately.

Is the name "Borrible" copyrighted? :P

I really want to know what the Aquatic Elves call themselves, but I'm also equally curious about an endonym for the Mordant Spire's folks.

Yes, and it will remain so through 2078. It may not be registered-copyrighted, or trademarked.
