Solon 0 Posted Monday at 12:40 Report Share Posted Monday at 12:40 I suggest the Greek hero Ὑάκινθος, mostly transcribed Hyacinth. The important Spartan festival Hyacinthia (Ὑακίνθια) is based upon this mythological persona. Hyacinth was one of Apollo's lovers. He was tragically killed by Apollo, but "revived" afterwards as a flower. This flower was regarded as the most beautiful flower in Ancient Greek Culture. The concept of decay and renewal (Spring) is linked to this hero and the flower named after him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Palaxin 160 Posted Tuesday at 08:45 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 08:45 (edited) Yggdrasil if there was something Norse related which I do not expect... EDIT: since it's a tree we may also use it if a substantial amount of new flora was added Edited Tuesday at 08:58 by Palaxin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nescio 1.525 Posted Tuesday at 09:36 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 09:36 Classical (Attic) Greek won't be of help in this case, since all words starting with an upsilon are actually aspirated (i.e. start with hy-). It's alien to Latin too. Nor do I expect much from Gaulish, since the few words that survived were written in Greek or Latin alphabets. Therefore we should look east: the y is used for transcribing many languages. I'm suggesting Yaunā, the Old Persian word for Ionians, Macedonians, and Greeks, which seems to me a nice follow-up to Xšayāršā (Xerxes). If, however, the Han make it into the next release (), then we can also use Chinese, giving more options to choose from. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stan` 7.033 Posted Thursday at 14:56 Report Share Posted Thursday at 14:56 A user suggested Yona or Yavana which was the term used by Mauryas? to designate the Greek. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yona Quote Link to post Share on other sites
