Time for a catboy intervention (hard to swallow pill inside)

I don't know what a Nuhn is, who's the real loser here.

Nunh (not Nuhn) is one of the two surnames that male Sunseekers will canonically have - but they're not family names, they're tribe ranks.

Each tribe will have one nunh - ie. breeding male; an 'earned' position that can be claimed by defeating the current nunh. (For the two tribes we've actually visited, this role is also leader of the tribe, although lore indicates that's not always the case.)

All other males have the rank "tia", which is why there seem to be so many with the same surname.

(Females don't have ranks in the same way, but use their father's name without the tribe-letter, eg. we can derive that Y'shtola Rhul's father is named Y'rhul Nunh - as long as he holds that position, anyway.)


So if a player uses the surname Nunh, whether knowingly or not, they are claiming to hold that rank and prestige over at least a subset of other people from whichever tribe they belong to.

Grand claims aside, it seems unlikely that the nunh would be out adventuring anyway - I assume he'd have to stay with the tribe and be ready to defend that title.

Oh wow i didn't know this, interesting.

I never noticed any male miqo'te with that surname. I guess i'll be on the lookout now.

Its kind of hard to picture some dominant male miqo'te lol.
