Mavali is prettier.  But do you want the word for traitor
to be pretty?  =P

> Mugmau - velvet < Ar. mukhmal

I tend towards Magmau.  Mugmau sounds so orkish.

Marreju is much prettier.  Mizdraga could then be used
for a particularly mean war hammer.

Mindru.  Minoru sounds so...  Esperanto.  ;o)



> Miñera - mine < OFr. miniera < LL minera
> Medaju - mine < LL metallum

Medaju is the cooler word, but maybe you'll want to reserve
that for the meaning "metal".
