Rick,
Can the gender prefixes be added to the personal names?
If so, then "Lajonbegi" could be split into 'John' and 'Joan', and "Laryabegi" into 'Mary' and 'Larry', for example. Or would the prefixes just change the name to 'female John' and 'male Mary'?
Lajonbegi - John [index] [Etym: proper noun + sound mnemonic + group member]
Laryabegi - Mary [index] [Etym: proper noun + sound mnemonic + group member]
