How about {naur}? What's {nax} from, besides the

The reason I chose {nax} and {nan} was to provide some 
symmetry - although I don't feel that strongly about it.

.nix. (Miss)
.nax. (Master)
.nan. (Mister) 
.nim.(Ms)  
Aviv, the meaning of 'Master' here is the male counterpart of 'Miss'.
Not much used in English these days, but it is used in other 
languages.
 
Using short rafsi as a base was a fine idea, but we can't stick to it 
too religiously.  {nanla} doesn't have a short rafsi, so {nax} was an 
obvious choice.
