Fair. Even so, some consultation is good, since two of my names, "high lord" and "lizard-people," I had originally declined as har jarl and eðla fólk.

Well. Apparently without the proper fixin' to hajarl and eðlufólk, the first was "hair lord," which while metal, wasn't the thing I was going for, and something vaguely profane/naughty (maybe not so vague).

Ergo: consults.
