#'masu' means 'big mouth reptile' and 'meht' means 'tooth/(egg) cracker'

was naming an argonian character and looking for jel words and just realized you named shap mota "frog hunter"... we stan a legend

most of my argonians besides dusty and solvej have jel names with intentional meanings (though xikeels name was developed before we had any canon lore on jel). like masumeht means “tooth from a big mouth”

too lazy to look it up rn but iirc for the rest of them:

dimikei - vivid/bright eyes

rus-vakka - sunlit dance

ma-sahtee/ei-sahtee - mouth full of stars/eyes full of stars

kot-veesk - dark ghost

Do you have any advice on coming up with Argonian names?

heres a relevant post

i give pretty much all of mine jel names (the selection of which is relatively limited, but you can get a lot out of the extant ones). and treat them as not being intended for literal translation. 

ie masumeht comes from “masu” which means “big mouth reptile”, and “meht” which means ‘cracker’ (as in ‘egg cracker’ ie eggtooth) or ‘tooth’

so the literal meaning is ‘big mouthed reptile tooth” but a more accurate translation is “tooth from a big mouth” with a meaning of “little but with a lot of force” and might be given to a child with a strong personality and/or who likes to bite things
