Adjective forms of Kerbal celestial bodies

Recommended Posts

I'd like to collect a list of the adjective forms people use for the various bodies in the game.

Some are pretty common, I think, like Munar for Mun, but what interesting ones do you use?

Some of mine are:

Kerbol - Kerbolar

Kerbin - Kerbal/Kerbin

Mun - Munar

Minmus - Minmusian

I haven't been much beyond the Kerbin system, so I haven't really given much thought to others (yet).

GasPlanet1: Jool, Joovan

OceanMoon: Laythe, Laytherian

IceMoon: Vall, Vallestrial

RockyMoon: Tylo, Tylosan

I use Munar and Joolian often, Dunar slightly less so. I haven't really thought about or used adjectives for other planets or moons.

Let's take a stand against Dres prejudice! Dres is a planet too!!!!

I would join such a Dres Appreciation Society immediately.

O Dres, why art thou so ignored?

RockyMoon: Tylo, Tylosan

That sounds an awkward lot like someone referring to Tylo using a japanese honorofic... Or maybe like someone (stereotypily-)animizing KSP's planets

Also, some new ones:

Kerbin: still Kerbin, Kerbinan or Kerban

Mun: still Mun, Munar or Munian

Minmus: still Minmus, Minmusian or Minmusal

As I understand it, the star in the system is simply the Sun, so the adjective would be "solar", just like IRL. At least that was true two versions ago. Have the devs officially renamed it?

Well, solar is from Sol (not the Sun) as Lunar is from Luna.

Kerbin's sun is Kerbol.

so that Kerbolar? Kerbolic? ("... in Kerbolic orbit.." ) sounds OK

EDIT personally use perigee and apogee, and solar, lunar etc. works for me

Barefoot Friar is correct. The official, in-game name is the Sun. Kerbol is a popular name given by the community.

So strictly, the adjective should indeed be Solar, (from Sol, Latin for Sun) as there is AFAIK, no other adjective form for the English word Sun.

Personally I still like Kerbolar, and just assume that Kerbol is the word for Sun in some ancient Kerbal language analogous to Latin on Earth.
