Thinking of other "factional titles".

"Ite" is a common suffix for the other lot.

Quote from: Perkunos on 08 July 2025, 12:36:10 PMThe Lance and Longbow Society have a few copies left of my small book on "Janos Hunyadi and the Turkish Invasions o Hungary in the 15th Century" which includes details of Jan Huss, Jan Zizk, Jan Jiskra of Brandsy and other who are part of the Hussite story.

And I can vouch for it being a very good book indeed  :)

There are several meanings for wrong-un.
