Archivesname suffixes in "Asterix"
Hi :)
I'd like to know why the authors of the French cartoon "Asterix" (Goscinny & Uderzo) named the English caracters with the suffix "-ax" , the Greek with the suffix "-os", the Scandinavian with the suffix "-sen" and the Egyptian with the suffix "-is". Can we say that it's because most of the people in those countries have the names ending with these suffixes? Is there any other academic reason?
Thank you very much for every answer :)
