Whence Screennames

[Alicorn]

Abeance is an alternate spelling of "abeyance" which was taken, and refers to this thing, wrt Jann's slightly awkward and unwanted inheritance-related position.

The screenname “ertia” is clearly abreference to inertia, related to momentun, but why did you get rid of the “in”? I'm guessing there's another reference there I'm missing.

[Alicorn]

"Inertia" and "inertial" were taken, and then I looked it up in wiktionary and liked it better without the prefix anyway.

That is an… interesting… etymology. I guess it would make sense that the word was related to “inert”.

Did you mention that before? I had the information stored in my skull but not how I got it.

Also, Ertia sounds like an world name, possible for an setting like Reviere or Treasury.

I don't remember if I have explained Kithabel's screenname before.

Keep_Busy? Relic reference?

[Alicorn]

It's a play on "keeper" - the thing she is to Aldaras because he's a tracker and she's his favorite person - and the general Bellish tendency to be occupied with things.

I have done a thing: http://binary-heat.dreamwidth.org/768.html?style=site

The next time my brain makes me do the thing, I will probably add in references in icon keywords under the screenname entries of people whose icon keywords contain references.

I know I didn't get every single screenname, so if there are any of my screennames that still puzzle you, feel free to ask and I'll add them.
