Parenthetically, all Akor-Neb family-names are prepositional; family-names were originally place names. I believe that ancient Akor-Neb marital relations were too complicated to permit exact establishment of paternity. And all Akor-Neb men's personal names have -irz- or -arn- inserted in the middle, and women's names end in -itra- or -ona. You could call yourself Virzal of Verkan, for instance.
H. Beam Piper - Last Enemy

which little sermon contrasted agreeably with his usual remarks concerning, and in the presence of, les femmes, whereof the essence lay in a single phrase of prepositional significance "bon pour coucher avec" he would say shrilly, his puny eyes assuming an expression of amorous wisdom which was most becoming.... As B. says: "He always looked like a June bride."
E. E. (Edward Estlin) Cummings - The Enormous Room
