Creation and Usage Notes

I spent literal seconds debating whether to go with Midhgärdh instead of Mithkärdh. Seconds. Ultimately, the former seemed too...much. Didn't fit.

[θ] does not normally occur in this position in Shiväisith, it does here because it is a borrowing. This means that this word's native spelling is slightly irregular, as its letter t stands for [θ] rather than the expected /t/.
