| These Names Are Not of Gor
This list is here to help you find a name for a slave and know what it means. Most Eastern languages do not insert the vowels, therefore in translations, "ee" and "i" are negotiable; likewise endings of "a" and "ah". These names can stand for male or female. Some sound more male and some sound more female. Language Codes Used A=Arabic | E= Egyptian | F=African | G=Greek | H=Hebrew | I=India | M=Muslim | NA-Native American | P=Persian | R=Gypsy |T=Turkish
