Re: Native American Historical Fantasy Novel - Accuracy of Names
If you're not familiar with the language and how names were constructed, you might inadvertently give your hunky hero a "name" that means something like "stomachache" in his language, or worse, "pencil sharpener" in some totally unrelated language.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
