Is Yarn Floke - the only named female gnome character? It's so sad that we don't have any info about gnome names And don't have enough named gnomes to see the naming pattern properly
I think so, she's the only female gnome character in the gnome page
Tumblr media
Only trend I can see in gnome names is that they're all pretty short (4 to 5 letters long)
Not so fun fact the official english changed that last Gnome's name, his name is Null
Tumblr media
Tansu Floke (タンス・フロッカ - Tansu Furokka)
Yarn Floke (ヤーン・フロッカ - Yān Furokka)
Holm Kranom (ホルム・クラノム - Horumu Kuranomu)
Null Milchain (ヌール・ミルチェン - Nūru Miruchen)
The other thing I noticed from the katakana is that they are all 3 sounds long? It's been years since I studied kana and I'm really rough but if I remember right the ー means a continuation of the last sound? so ヤーン Yaーn would be sounded out as Ya-a-n ? If that's the case then yeah all of them are 3 sounds long so short names. (In japanese 'n' is a sound by itself so ta-n-su)
In our sound division it's different more like Tan-su, Yarn, Holm, Null
The only one with two sounds is Tansu is that right? I've been out of school for a long time idk anything anymore.
Idk what I'm getting at, Yarn and Null have names that are words in English but not Tansu and Holm?
Uhn google says this about Tansu
Tansu (箪笥) are traditional Japanese mobile storage cabinets. Tansu are commonly used for the storage of clothing, particularly kimono.
and Holm
There are numerous islands containing the word holm, mainly in northern Europe. In many cases the name is derived from the Old Norse holmr, meaning "a small and rounded islet".
Holm is also a surname apparently? like for people in our world?
I'm not getting anywhere with this but I hope these random things help somehow👍

When I think of musical genres associated with standard fantasy species, it's probably elf rock and orc metal, but gnome music is definitely gnomecore. Gnomes just feel like they'd be about -core.

I've been working on my personal fakemon region on and off and wanted to show off this line that I just finished! Gnourly and Trollicious are based off of gnomes, trolls, icing, and various kinds of cake. Gnourly evolves into Trollicious depending on its icing color. These guys were super fun to design and I'm very happy with their concept!

Gnomes are a small, ground dwelling, fairy found across most temperate forests, grasslands and in rare occasions mountain dwellings. They are one of the few fairies to be commonly found alongside human dwellings, having an affinity for their gardens. While most fairy beings can be seen as pests, the Gnome has managed to sway favor as they speak to a relatively good sign for agricultural communities. Having a Gnome is a good sign your crop is healthy and being tended too.
While most fairy species live relatively peacefully alongside one another, the Gnome is one of the few fairy species who do engage in warfare. This animosity is particularly found with Pixies.
Their “red cap” has become the moniker of the species. However this “cap” is not a piece of fashion, but a highly sensitive sensory organ used to help travel in their deep underground dens. They also act as a silent way to communicate with one another in dense brush or long grass. Only males of the species possess one. Female’s caps are small and dome-like, which they commonly adorn with flower crowns. The male’s cap doesn’t always remain active, they can actively render their cap flaccid, allowing them to burrow and squeeze into tight spaces. A male’s cap will grow throughout the course of his life, some reaching lengths double their body length.
