You sure you don't want to give them a more mineral sounding name? Cuz right now it's bordering dangerously on Pokemon.

Where is "pok" from? I know "homme" is French, but "pok" doesn't sound French, and they don't even really use the letter "k" except loanwords, so I'm confused.

In case you aren't kidding, there's no chance that "pok" is French or that "homme" is Greek.

No, "homme" is French. You have them backwards, sir.
How about Rochehomme, so it's the same language?
Or "Rocciumo", an amalgam of rock+man in Italian?

Or the Steinfranken. ;D

EDIT: You know what? Just call 'em GOLEMs. It's what they ARE. Why create a bastardised neologism when you have a perfectly good word available?

Yeah, they're golems to the letter, especially the "created as wizards' servants" part.


Also: If you ever rely on machine translations for anything, you're going to fail hard at getting good results.

Also also: A machine translator won't tell you that "homme" is a Greek word, because, well, it ain't.
