Ooh; how do you pronounce that?

Uhh...*isn't very good with pronunciation keys* Kind of like ROY-vv. But there is a touch of an "h" in the first syllable, it's just not very strong.

Interesting point...hmmmm I see nothing wrong with not naming your world per se, but I really like naming things! I got a lot of inspiration for names last time I went to Hawaii (they have some pretty interesting names down there)

Hawaii... just at looking at that name I could tell there would probably be some very creative names over there!

Iniel means The Cry in the Sedre language, and is similar to our word "universe" (one word). On the various planets there are words like our word "earth," but there are some wise men who name the various Earths, such as the Earths Tow, and Pow, and Russin, the First Earth. They also name the different Heavenses after the main Earths that are in them, such as the Russin Heavens. They also name the Surfaces for the various Heavenses they are between, such as the Russin Tow Pow Surface. But the Land of the Dead and the Dark Ones is over all, even those who venture Outside the Main.
And the Sha...

Or should I stop?

World naming in Iniel is a World of its own.


It would be neat if some one made a list of the names of earth in all the languages.

how do you pronounce Iniel?

Continue!

երկիր

In-yel, as in "in" and "yell."

Ah, I think when you have them in other writing systems you need to include both the IPA exact pronunciation, and a pronunciation in a more recognizable pronunciation system, a transliteration, and the name of the language that it is in.

For example:

Armenian: երկիր - erkir (jɛɹkiɹ) yeh-rkeer

It just dawned on me that "earth" is just the name for earth in English. Therefore what's stopping you from having more then one word for your world?

for example, Erde (I think that's how you spell it) is German for earth, and Terran is earth in Welsh. So you could have a sort of Germanic country have Erde as its name for your world while you have another country calling it just plain earth. Or if you want to go further in depth you could have a Elf country for example calling your world "the creation of God", in their language. The possibilities are endless.
PS: sorry if this doesn't make sense.

أرض
γη

I think, if you have multiple languages, that that would be a good world building tidbit to add depth to the different cultures.

What is art, krajiny, and terram?

I don't have an ultimate word for my world though I do have different people groups having names for the world. For example my Gnomes collectively call the world Dhomma. My Elves call the world Delhen or Elhen.

I actually don't have a name for my world, period. I never really found it necessary, since I rarely use earth in my vocabulary, other that when I'm doing creation science stuff. So I can easily avoid using it.

Dhomma is a really cool word, by the way.

@Tsaharf: O.O

Thanks

That is a good name! Is that a word in your language or just a offthetopofyourheadname?

I've seen more than one person, myself included, who didn't know what to name their particular world. I'm beginning to wonder if that's even necessary. Think about it. We don't really have a specific name for our world other than Earth and that started as simply the name for the substance we stand on. I mean if you think about it, we refer to the world, generally as "the world" without any proper name needed. Wouldn't the inhabitants of our fictional worlds (who have no knowledge of other worlds, and thus would feel no need to distinguish) probably think along the same lines? I mean of course they would distinguish between countries and regions within the world, but the "world" in general would probably be just that in their minds. A nice bit of endocosmic thinking for you to mull over.
I understand the need to distinguish between multiple conworlds, but I think this can be done with out slapping an official name on them.
What do y'all think?

I personally find it very good for me to know my world's name. Firstly, it helps me in sharing my world with others.

Even if I never use the name in my stories, I would like to come up with a name because people get confused...If I had a name, it might be a bit easier.
