The sound inventory, syllable shapes, spelling assumptions, pronunciation approximation, and version contract used by the local engine.

The current ruleset is an original fictional inventory designed for readable English-interface output. It does not claim to reproduce a living language and does not attach invented meanings to real cultural forms.

Readability filtering

The engine checks final strings for excessive length, hostile consonant clusters, triple-vowel runs, non-qu q sequences, unreadable pronunciation, within-batch duplicates, near duplicates, prohibited terms, retained historical failure fragments, and candidates too close to a small recognizable fictional-name list. This is a conservative product filter, not comprehensive rights clearance.

Why pronunciation is approximate

The display converts recurring spellings into a stable reader aid and separates vowel-centered chunks. It cannot encode every accent, phoneme, stress pattern, or language-specific contrast. A future IPA mode would require its own rules, test fixtures, and qualified review rather than a cosmetic label.

Known limits

Similarity is an editorial signal rather than trademark, copyright, linguistic, cultural, or identity clearance. Pronunciation is an English-readable approximation rather than IPA. The site does not claim cultural authenticity, legal availability, uniqueness, ranking performance, or human review that has not occurred.
