Veyrathi - Iyath system name and style sheet

Purpose

This file standardizes the proper names of the Iyath system for maps, world-building prose, in-universe wiki articles, and language-related technical texts. It connects three levels:

Veyrathi name usage for everyday and standard language naming
Interpretative status of the names as transparent, folk etymological or archaic-opaque
Saithnic glosses for observatories, archives and learned prose

Basic principles

Celestial names are often older and more fossilized than normal place names in the Enari project. Not every name has to be cleanly decomposable in modern Veyrathi.
If a safe modern decomposition is missing, the proper name remains untouched. Precision is then created using an added generic word such as koren-zyran, naar-saren or varun-draz-naar.
Saithan glosses do not replace the names. They just frame them in technical language, for example in forms like Iyathen shaurskaiveth or Seyraen krothkaiveth.
Where a modern reading is possible, it is marked as a working interpretation. This is intentionally weaker than hard historical etymology.

Style rules

In maps, diagrams and short lists there is usually only the proper name: Iyath, Saivor, Seyra, Esyr.
In descriptive Veyrathi prose, the standard form is: name + ar + common noun. Example: Iyath ar koren-zyran.
In Saithan mixed prose the name is retained and given a learned gloss with -en. Example: Saivoren krothveimeth.
Opaque names are not necessarily reinterpreted. Especially with old star and planet names, stylistic stability is often more important than perfect transparency.

Short register of system names

Name	Type	Interpretation status	Recommended Veyrathi specialist form	Saithan technical glosses
`Iyath`	main star	archaic-opaque core name; no safe modern decomposition	`Iyath ar koren-zyran`	`Iyathen shaurskaiveth`, `Iyathen shaurkaiveth`
`Saivor`	Companion star	formally independent; later often to Saithan. `saiv-` approximated, but not derived with certainty	`Saivor ar saren-zyran`	`Saivoren shaurskaiveth`, `Saivoren krothveimeth`
`Seyra`	big main moon	strongly transparent via `seyr-` "see, perceive"; very plausible secondary reading	`Seyra ar naar-saren`	`Seyraen krothkaiveth`
`Orun`	small accompanying moon	partially opaque; Beginning `or-` is often heard as an archaic marker "original/first-", but remains uncertain	`Orun ar naar-saren`	`Orunen krothkaiveth`, `Orunen krothmnorum`
`Tirash`	inner rocky planet	easy to connect to the `tir-` / `tiren` "earth, ground" field; probably fossilized	`Tirash ar dulen-naar`	`Tirashen grathtorveth`, `Tirashen oarvkaiveth`
`Kaleth`	greenhouse planet	archaic-opaque; later reference to `kelir` is read as a mis-folk etymology precisely because of the heat	`Kaleth ar haloren-draz-naar`	`Kalethen neldkhesmeth`, `Kalethen draemtorveth`
`Esyr`	cold outer rocky planet	short old core name without a secure internal structure; seems modern, but is probably older	`Esyr ar kelir-dulen-naar`	`Esyren draemkaiveth`, `Esyren oarvkaiveth`
`Veyron`	Gas giant	poetically well connectable to `veyr-` "speak, voice"; probably literary secondary reading	`Veyron ar varun-draz-naar`	`Veyronen neldkhesmeth`, `Veyronen oarvkaiveth`
`Thalos`	Ice Giant	often taught based on `thalor` "ordered assembly", especially because of the ring system; historical certainty is missing	`Thalos ar kelir-draz-naar`	`Thalosen krothskorn`, `Thalosen krothmnorum`
`Naar`	Homeworld, planetary world body	fully transparent; Basic word itself has become astronomically productive	`Naar ar naar`	`Naaren oarvkaiveth`, `Naaren vaithoarveth`
`Zeyth`	Asteroid belt	easy to connect to `zey-` "new, replace"; frontier and expansion connotation is strong	`Zeyth ar dulen-virel-jorath`	`Zeythen krothmnorum`, `Zeythen skaivselthum`

Comment lines on the interpretations- `Iyath` should not be artificially decomposed in the standard. The name works best as an old star core name with a clear generic affix.

Saivor can, in the learned tradition, be metaphorically approximated to Saithian river and sap images because the star carries a slow, cyclical additional rhythm into the system. But that is a late reading, not a certain origin.
Seyra is the strongest modern secondary reading in the system. The proximity to seyra "see" makes the name particularly useful for observatories, calendar culture and poetic descriptions of clear moonlit nights.
Kaleth and Esyr show the opposite case: Both names appear modernly readable, but historically remain uncleanly decomposable. Here the technical language should be more precise about classification instead of name analysis.
Veyron and Thalos are good for scholarly or poetic reinterpretation. In both cases, cultural readability is more important than any claimed historical clarity.

Example Sentence Patterns in Veyrathi

Iyath ar koren-zyran. = Iyath is the main star.
Saivor ar saren-zyran moraen. = Saivor is a distant companion star.
Seyra ar naar-saren is draz. = Seyra is a very large or massive moon.
Orun ar naar-saren len draz. = Orun is a rather small or light moon.
Tirash ar dulen-naar draz. = Tirash is a dense rocky planet.
Kaleth ar haloren-draz-naar. = Kaleth is a world with a heavy, dense atmosphere.
Esyr ar kelir-dulen-naar. = Esyr is a cold rocky planet.
Veyron ar varun-draz-naar. = Veyron is a gas giant.
Thalos ar kelir-draz-naar. = Thalos is an ice giant.
Zeyth ar dulen-virel-jorath. = Zeyth is an asteroid belt.

Use in technical prose

For normal style, the combination of proper name + Veyrathi classification is the most readable form. Examples:

Iyath ar koren-zyran
Seyra ar naar-saren
Kaleth ar haloren-draz-naar
Veyron ar varun-draz-naar

In observatories, archives and classification texts, however, a Saithan hybrid form is often used:

Iyathen shaurskaiveth
Saivoren krothveimeth
Naaren oarvkaiveth
Seyraen krothkaiveth
Kalethen neldkhesmeth
