Coynite names and words have an important social and status depending on the way they are written. Names are not just words, but stories. By literally translating the meaning of the phrases, it is often possible to know the history of an item, a person, or a location. The longer the name, the more honoured a being is or more noble their family. However, Coynites seldom use their full names except when first establishing who has higher standing, such as upon first meeting. As a concession to off-world customs, Coynites will allow aliens to use shortened versions of names, but only if the alien confers the appropriate level of respect upon the Coynite. To deride an object of great importance or be disrespectful is an unforgivable offense.
When syllables of a Coynite name are capitalised, it means that the object, place or person is worthy of great respect. All things associated with the En'Tra are always capitalised. Likewise, proper names are capitalised. Some phrases or names are never capitalised. this indicates a relationship with af'harl.
Many Coynite warriors of noble birth have very long names, which might be translated as 'Trel'tak, honourable warrior who defeated a noble of higher standing, of Clan Muls'rak, leaders of the War of Unification'.
