I can't waste time getting super into the weeds on this for the show proper, because it very quickly will just become procrastination, but the method for making diminuitives that I came up with and talked about in this video:
has the gears in my brain turning about how the good neighbours do nicknames. I'm writing an episode where we meet Telesphore's dad and part of me is like chafing at having to write out all 10 goddamn letters of Telesphore in his dad's lines, but idk, Telsie is for boyfriends only and Tel feels not fantasy enough. So I've been messing around with shortening and adding hard K sounds to kehrseite names to get diminuitives. this is hard and the results are stupid. conlang writing is a rabbit hole that I will never pull myself from.
