Got a question: Why "maxpre"? I had to look up the plot online to figure out
that those are Munchkins.
Well, "munch" as in "chew", which is {marxa}. I didn't want to just transcribe the word directly. In the German translation they also have a name that is very close to one that would mean "Chewers". And the Munchkins always move their jaws around as if they were chewing.
The name might have a different origin according to this Wikipedia article[1], and it's hard to tell what's really true.
I might turn it into a zi'evla if a good one presents itself.[1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munchkin#Origin_of_the_term
