Having never heard of Ogygian (or Ogyges), I fear this approach will make Glorantha even less accessible.
I'm sure Gloranthans do this, however. An obvious example is "Alakoring" the adjective, derived from "Alakoring" the person. I imagine "Urgraini" is used (from Bad King Urgrain, though his name is never uttered without "Bad King" so perhaps not).
