I’m working on a story that uses a lot of Southeast Asian folklore, primarily with the denizens of the sea. Created by the Goddess of the Sea and Guardian of the Dead, there are multiple species of the “Mar,” who can be thought of as the ancestors of your typical Mer. Based on their closest approximate meanings, what should the name of the Seafolk be?
- Mareng - Filipino slang for close female friend
- Markanto - the musical term “Marcato,” meaning an emphasized note
- Marbant - meaning “drop of bitter,” or alternatively “near death”
