The one-named dwarf!

I just got a migrant with no last name - he's just Naniringish. I'm frightened.

I want to tell you they were bad men, cephalo.  I want to tell you that with a better overseer the Fortress never would've gotten so bad someone would get offed in a pointless fisticuffs.
But the sad truth charlie?

It's probably because of missing words in the dwarven language file. Or something like that.

They can come disguised as migrants, or migrate normally if they're a retired adventurer.

Interestingly, it doesn't get translated into anything! He was in my first migration wave, I'll be bitter if he's a vamp.

What does that translate to?
Nanir = Rhyme
Ingish = Bodice

Because it's made up of two components, it should actually be a surname and not a forename (the standard dwarf naming scheme is one component for first name, two for last name)

Since the renaming bug isn't fixed until the next version comes out, try renaming him and see if he is indeed a vampire. See what his relationships are while you're at it :) If he turns out to be a vampire trying to impersonate something like a dwarven god, that'd be hilarious :D

There are three things I know about dwarves:
1. They've got beards. Even the women.
2. They're short. Especially the women.
3. They're Scottish.
