Hordani

Hordani is a term that appears across different linguistic and cultural contexts but does not have a single, universally accepted definition. In fictional and speculative writing, Hordani is frequently used as the name of a tribal or confederate people, a language, or a cultural group set in a nomadic or frontier milieu. Authors vary the setting, sometimes placing the Hordani in arid steppes, mountainous regions, or coastal archipelagos, and they may attribute distinct customs, social structures, and music to the Hordani.

Outside fiction, the form has occasionally been used as a surname or toponym in general references, though such uses are rare and not standardized. The etymology is unclear and appears to differ by author or tradition; some sources suggest derivation from a root meaning “frontier” or “borderland,” while others do not provide explicit etymologies.

Because there is no canonical source for "hordani," readers should consult the specific work or context in which the term appears to understand its intended meaning, scope, and linguistic characteristics. The term can thus function as a flexible label in worldbuilding, while remaining a non-specific appellation in real-world references.
