[@Octo]: A few examples of female Nem names include things like Essyrah, Tili, Ynah, Fariha, Nyhi, and Vahna.

I think the best inspiration for their food would be to look up the kind of cuisine arid communities eat, as their culture doesn't entirely have a one-to-one analogue and is sort of a mishmash of inspirations from different cultures of similar regions. I do actually have some parts of the nem language figured out that I can send along in a PM.

As for Veltan cuisine, Velt is primarily modeled on Britain, so you can run along those lines for food. One of the examples I do have figured out for sure is a roasted duck breast sliced and presented with vegetables, but I've suddenly blanked out on what I called it. ^^;
