I don't think any of the House names work in the given syllable-set except... Ragara. Maybe Cathak if you assume that's really Cathak'; I think they had a "tha" syllable. With V'neef as the worst offender, because dude, where the hell did the random apostrophe come from?

I suspect they only did it because everyone knows Old Realm is supposed to have kanji, and kanji are a pain to transcribe, so they made High/Low Realm hiragana when they got around to the PG and forgot it when writing the original book. >_>

Also, entirely agreed, on trying to spell things with their alphabet. [snrks] I think there was a generator somewhere that'd convert to "nearest approximation" and pull up the characters for you, though?
