Do you like Chultan equipment's name ?

Hi guys.

Chultan equipment's names are very strange. Can you imagine what equipment such as Mekeleya, Ngubo, Puggaree, Umdwebo, Chakmeh etc from? Can you instantly judge which equipment of class?
I like traditional names that are easier to understand. Like Hood, Robes, Gauntlets, Greaves for example.

And, some words do not know how to pronouce it. For example, Isikhumbas, Qafaz, Ibhuzus, Isigqoko.

What do you think ?

    If they are names of either African or Mezo-American armors or weapons then I honestly have no real problem with the names. It adds more authenticity to them, in my opinion.

    You can use Ctrl+J to look up the equipment for your class, under the chult tab.

    Different cultures, different looks. Even in D&D.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    Dinos never went extinct on Toril. I would also refer you to Maztica in the Realms.
