All proper nouns in the set are derived from from Dutton Speedwords, an shorthand script also designed to be an international auxiliary language. I chose Speedwords to be the native tongue because I though the artificiality of the language, combined with the fact that it leads to a consistent naming convention, was appropriate for a machine world. Below is a list of all the words I've used, along with their derivations.
