Hugh:

That assumes you’re talking about somebody whose name is {hugh}, meaning <throat>. My name is {Hugh}, meaning <disaster>, in Morskan. Maybe you’d say it as {Qugh} on {Ho'noS}, but it just sounds weird to me.

hmm.. I didn't know that. Anyways, the question is for the case we talk about a group of people, whose {Hugh} name means "throat". I'm aware that body part words get pluralized with the {Du'-}, even when they don't refer to actual body parts, as it is known from the classic DeSqIv/nevDagh Ca'Non. But I wonder whether this rule carries over to people names too.. ~ qcqcqcc

I think that pluralising a name would be weird to begin with, let alone using a body-part suffix.

/My dear Bagginses and Boffins,/ he began again; /and my dear Tooks and Brandybucks, and Grubbs, and Chubbs, and Burrowses, and Hornblowers, and Bolgers, Bracegirdles, Goodbodies, Brockhouses and Proudfoots./ ‘ProudFEET!’ shouted an elderly hobbit from the back of the pavilion. His name, of course, was Proudfoot, and well merited; his feet were large, exceptionally furry, and both were on the table. /Proudfoots,/ repeated Bilbo. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
