Re: Anjezë (meaning) and Mute (a name which has that as its meaning)
Thanks, they are very good proposals but I am trying not to invent, at most to tweak facts, but not to invent (Dyslalia is already an English word as far as I can remember). By tweaking not inventing I mean... I could latinize, italianize a name that means mute and isn't ood among people from the countries that hacve the greater numbers of migrants in nationalized as Italians. Or even names that have found their ways into Italy long ago. Simon and varians all involve hearing and are of semitic origin but could be found in Italy... Maybe the same could be true for a name based on the word mute... Or maybe one with a "barbaric" origin like old German or something. Yet I rather it be an unusual yet plausible tweak and not an invention... Tacita seems a likely candidate so far, somewhat, but I can't wrap my mound around whether it would be written "Tacita" and pronounced "Tachita" or written "Tazzita" and pronounced "Tatzita" or what.
