Lunarian or Lunaurian?

A funny thought for  a 'accent' with the term 'Lunarian'. Various characters from different parts of Noches could pronounce the term very differently:




From the Southwest 'Lunaurian'. But then again, the 'u' makes it sounds strange and a tongue twister not only for saying it but perhaps writing it. It could be fun if there were arguments on accents and pronunciation.




In another part (thinking of the North), perhaps they would use 'Lunarain'? Switching the 'i' lettering in place with a 'a' lettering, could either be worst or even better. Depending on the accent and the usage of said word. Personally, I had this same conflict in my mind when thinking of certain words and lettering. What 'sounded better' and what 'sounded right' seemed to be bothersome for my small brain to handle. So why not just make up whatever I could work with?






When making up terms and words, I try to make it sound likable like any good fiction writer would, regardless of the level of fiction.
