So, contrary to previous opinion it looks like the Saratites probably adopted this Umathelan term because of rather than despite its fantastic rhyming potential. Rhymes and poetry being important parts of Orlanthi life after all.

More seriously, it is hard to disentangle names of classical gods from english - martial, erotic, hermetic, Solar, Lunar, mercurial, saturnine, jovial, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Tuesday, Wednesday, January, etc etc. I think it would be tough to write sensibly with pure Gloranthan references, that woul dbe comprehensible.
