How to name Argonian?
I am trying to name an argonian character in a way the matches how he looks or what his role in battle will be. How would I name an argonian scales of steel or grey scales using the jel language? I have seen some kind of translation somewhere like Hides his eyes would be haj ei andgreat benefit is gah julan...how does this naming thing work?

Do you want anyone else to understand your name? If not you could put any chicken scratching there and it won't matter to the rest of us, only you. Which is probably why all the Argonian names are in English.

Pees-his-poop

As the meaning of only a handful of words in Jel is known, I would suggest using the Tamrielic/Cyrodiilic form of the name, such as:

Has-Steel-Scales
Has-Grey-Scales

Or even:

Scales-of-Steel

The closest I could come up with in Jel are:

Gaheix

Great (Gah)
Scales (Eix)

Azeezeix

Shining (Azeez)
Scales (Eix)

Qocqoc’esseix

Strong (Qocqoc’ess - base meaning is Strength, but according ot the website linked below, various related meanings may hide behind the word)
Scales (Eix)

Kinda looking for a phrase that sounds good in jel but also would make sense translated? Not sure it's possible but I try...

I wouldnt do it

Argonians can have great names in english, understandable by everyone, while staying in lore
With a name in Jel, 90+% of the people wont understand what it is

The ones who do will look at some traduction and come with...Grey Scales or something
So original...

My opinion anyway...
