    It mises the “good enough” human approximations of the “true names” when the latter is impossible for humans to pronounce: it doesn’t have to be the exact correct pronunciation. If the Ants can’t make the -lk- or -nt- sounds of my screen name and chant “Lennivekat”, It’s close enough that I get they mean me. I might try to teach them the correct pronunciation, then probably give up and ask what they actually want.
