Fnévképzvel

Fnévképzvel is a term used in onomastic studies of speculative or fictional languages to describe a particular method of name formation. It refers to the creation of new proper nouns or titulary forms by combining a base name with a descriptive or functional morpheme, yielding terms that convey status, lineage, or role.

Etymology: The form appears to blend elements reminiscent of név (“name”) and képzés (“formation”) with the instrumental suffix -vel found in Hungarian. In the fictional tradition it signals a named entity formed with the given base meaning, functioning as part of a larger naming system.

Mechanism: Typically, a corpus of base names (given names, clan names, or place names) is subjected to a derivational layer that adds a descriptor or functional marker. The resulting form often behaves as a single noun in syntax and may appear in genealogies, titles, or heroic epics. Phonological adjustments preserve harmony and ease of articulation.

Use and variation: Fnévképzvel is attested in several fictional communities within the corpus, with regional variants that favor different suffixes or consonant clusters. Some communities employ it for regal or sacerdotal titles, others for legendary founders. The system allows rapid generation of numerous names tied to a person’s identity or function.

Examples (illustrative): A base name “Aín” could appear as “Aíneképzvel” to denote a high-status founder, while “Bor” might become “Borképzvel” as a family epithet. These examples are schematic and serve to illustrate the pattern rather than reflect a canonical corpus.
