Question

Are the names Cadhinor and Kahinisa cognates?

Yes. They both come from proto-Central Ekaduns, meaning "a fork in the river"; cf "the Angles".

That make sense. THanks!

Do you mean Angles as in Anglo-Saxon?

If so, i think that is one of Mark's atempts at a sly joke hidden by translation

Well, it's a not uncommon practice for tribes to name themselves after the place they live in . . . it may or may not be a direct reference, i don't know.

Too clever... I wasn't thinking of the Angles (or anyone else in particular; it just seemed like something that might become an ethnonym).
