Call for serious naming of Kerbin rivers and drainage basins - suggest your hydronyms

[roboslacker]

In the River-Run Air-race challenge, #5 was called the K'yangtze.

Otisburg?

Let's see how many rivers are from each of your own country, that have unusual names that could be used in original (or Kerbalized) variety on Kerbin.

From Croatia, I nominate: Kupa, Krka, Mura, Ombla, Gacka.

Let them be named starting with N-.
Anyway in English you can write Kn- or N- as one prefers and read this alike.

Also, Q- can replace Kw-or Kv- in writing.
Kh- and H- are more or less similar.

Are all these names in Kerbal?
Kerbals have their well-known language, they should name the rivers kerbally.
And hydronyms are the most stable part of linguistic ancestry, so the rivers are the first candidates to be Kerbal-named, that's why I suggested Oir-Ednarg or Ednarg-Oir..

 

I forgot about the reverse Spanish. I will now cast a vote for #1 to be named Oir Ed Orened.

Good thing to know that the reverse Spanish thing is a myth. They speak gibberish with some words resembling typical Romanic language.

Source: I inverted the sound of many KSP trailers and found nothing intelligible.

Crap.

It sounds backwards, which is odd- like how if someone was pronouncing things backwards and they reversed the footage.

Let's petition squad.

After the river where the Tunguska meteorite has exploded: Understone Kunguska.

Headcanon - 1 is the River Wak. Venue for the annual all-Kerbin raft race. Navigating its twists and turns on a not-very-maneuverable vessel is a challenge that attracts the very best mariners (and their fans) from all across Kerbin.

I like this one already. Kerbalized, silly, and only if you think about it does it make you realize it rhymes with Nile. Though to be funnier, I think it should be spelled Kyle River.

I fully support this
