My name is Hargiutamá

Esha.

Well, my name is Arikea. Arikea Hargiutamá. Names are considered very special in Kazujisha. First off, there are family names. In Kazujisha, we say that you're related to everyone with your family name. It is actually somewhat true, too, with the exception of those who are married into it and adopted ones. This is because only one family line has that family name. The name Hargiutamá is somewhat old (at least 200 years), founded by the couple Tereshyajin and Avanahyraji. All Hargiutamá except the above exceptions are related to them by blood!

As I have two parents Hargiutamá isn't my only family name. I'm a Telagikonna as well. To the Telagikonna I'm one of them, but my kids won't be unless I change my family name to Telagikonna. This kind of problems regarding family "membership" can be quite a mess for those with close bonds to both their families. To me, it's not much of a problem, family politics are almost non-existant in Hargiutamá and Telagikonna, at least in Rahean. Actually the cousin I visited in my last post is a Telagikonna!

Next time... I think I'll write about first names. Arikea, for example. Nãei!
