Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
My name comes from back in the days of SE3 (dons old man voice). I had some idea that the best name for my race would be one without vowels (although I didn't go so far as the "must have an apostrophe or two" cliche). It is unpronounceable—just look at my signature—but attempts at vocalization have ranged from "Kursk" (like the Russian sub) to imitations of a burst of static.

That is not correct... unless you don't ever pronounce the "h"? Would you say "an hat" or "an house?" I sure hope not...

Did you mean you surely hope not?  Sorry, just the educator in me coming out (despite my best efforts).

Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
Seeing as it's a fictional name, you can pronounce it Bob if you want.

I'm sorry, but Bob is taken.

No, it's "Kursk". Definitely "Kursk". And he plays Dyson-hockey, didn't you know?

Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
Hmmm, I have always pronounced it "Krisk" for some reason. That is just the first thing in my mind when I read it.

Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
Me being a Primitive was the departing words from my first great love (almost 10 years).
Strange, how women are attracted to the rugged stuff but a few years down the road they want you to wear a suit and go to the opera “shrug”. I’ll never understand them

Cue strange, frightening and deeply inappropriate mental images of Primitve at the opera: On stage, with a Valkyrie wig/helmet set, spear and giant fake busom singing along to Wagner...
