Sultan's Names of Qud

Description
The base game has 2,184 possible sultan names. This mod (as of its first version) brings that number to 19,680.

A simple mod adding many new prefixes, infixes, and suffixes, to massively increase variety of sultan names in world generation. For instance, the base game has 26 starting name pieces (or 'prefixes') for sultans; this mod adds a further 14, as well as more than doubling the amount of ending name pieces (or 'suffixes').

Individual pieces of names are picked primarily from the names of Egyptian pharaohs and Persian kings to ensure consistency with the base game's name pieces and to keep the cultural identity of the Eaters intact.

Some unusual names MAY be generated, but nothing you wouldn't see on rare occasions in vanilla.

That's outside the scope of what this mod does, but it would in theory be possible with some Harmony patches.

Also I was under the impression that the shared names weren't indicative of descent but just that they happen to share a name that might have been common in their time (or perhaps the name itself is an epithet for royalty as was often the case with Egyptian pharaohs who shared 'names').

Cool mod! Do you by any chance know how to configure it so sultans can't share the same name? Correct me if I'm wrong, but in my understanding the sultanate is not a monarchy, hence the high likelihood of sultans inheriting their predecessor's name (followed by a regnal number) has never made sense to me.

That's an impressive amount of names.
