Call for terminology I'm planning the introduction of newly acquired lands into the political system of the Tekann and I'm in need of a title for local governing bodies. I've decided I'd like to import a word from a foreign language into Tekann to denote the land title and the title of the ruler for that area and not pull one from the Tekann lexicon. This type of thing happened often in medieval fiefdoms (such as Marquis coming to Britain from france).
I'm looking for your languages word for "Merchant". I've not decided whether to take one word and apply it to all new lands, or to use the local (nearby) forms for each. In any case, My expansion plans are far from over so I welcome all to participate. Note that I will be corrupting them to fit my phonology and morphological rules. :)

Since you claimed the areas outside the bay of Cámas, I count that as neighbouring to mine ;) Especially since there live Cámas people in your new lands there.
