    Try using "Quicksilver" as the equivalent, and look up the Roe dictionary and the advice above to come up with a nice-sounding name.
    For one, "silver" is Sylb, classified as adjective/noun; you could combine that with Hirsk, "agile", or even better, Holsk, "fast".

    (Am I doing this right, Junah? I'm a bit rusty when it comes to my Roegadyn...)

    If the element, not the god, is your goal, Geist is on the right track. "Quicksilver" actually appears in Old High German as quecsilbar. Since the team slightly shifted "silbar" to "sylb," and doesn't have another word for quick yet (that we've seen), you can also slightly change quec, if you want. Roegadyn conventions rarely use "ue" when they can go with "oe" (pronounced oo), or w (pronounced like a v), if I'm interpreting the list correctly. And there's not a single Q on that list, so far, either. Kwyksylb, maybe? It's fun to say.
