To name the Gods

OK, here are the current names for the main deities in my Pathfinder setting.

Law, The Building Father
Human: Codifex
Dwarf: Ordun
Elf: Lêgo
Halfling: Vodsa

Chaos, The Growing Mother
Human: Fractasia
Dwarf: Wirwar
Elf: Chäoso
Halfling: Matka

Good, the Bringer of Life
Human: Lavator
Dwarf: Dalicht
Elf: Vivo
Halfling: Záhradnic

Evil, the Destroyer and Corrupter
Human: Phagos
Dwarf: Schändir
Elf: Har-Magedono
Halfling: Zviera

The human names are the official names as used by the True Church. Gnomes use the Dwarf language for religious matters, so use the Dwarf titles for the gods. There are of course countless regional variations and titles.

What are the Orckish names? You forget the Orks at your own peril.

The fun thing is, I recognize ALL of those names & can even give you sources for many of them without even invoking Wiki, the god of knowledge & trivia.
