Dwarf is to Urist, as human is to...

This is bugging me. If all dwarves are nicknamed "Urist", then what a humans nicknamed? Would it be "Dagger" in humanese?

...And no one notices that a desert titan is made out of ice. No, ice capybara in the desert? Normal. Someone kinda figured out the military? Amazing!

So we have bob, and we have joe. Any more? I think it should be from the "Human" language in DF, but that's just my opinion.

Seems like Joe makes the most sense.

It's even the name we use to describe the "Average Joe."

I don't understand, though that is about right with anything DF related.

I just hope he dies the same death that all dwarfs deserve: liver disease.

Joe it is! I'm going to play Corrosion, so that's why.

Or John. I believe the official name for an unknown male is John Doe, so it makes sense to me. :P
Or, if we go with Necro's initial contemplation, Olith. Yay for peeking in language files!
