Na fora di Tera, Lunga kung Sol, maski otru kultura sa nomi-nomi strelapedra ja buskah di mutu tantu nasang, teng ngua parti grandi ja tomah olotu di nomi-nomi di Deus ke spiritu archetypal (pra ngua lista interu, podih bai olah Planetary Linguistics sa naki ke Robert Little sa panyamintu naki). Asih, yo lembrah Kristang pun podih sigih otru kultura, sibrih nomi-nomi di nus onsong sa animu archetypal. Kora yo ta lembrah ke plontah isti nomi, yo pun ja kuniseh ki nomi-nomi strelapedra teng ligasang kung matrix-matrix di saiki na rentu di Peskisa Pesuasang; asih yo ja afrontah matrix-matrix kung isti nomi-nomi nubu na riba di lembransa di Deus-Deus.
Pra buskah kung panyah figura archetypal Kristang, yo ja sibrih tudu skritura kung stori rainya nus teng agora: Joan Margaret Marbeck sa Ungua Adansa kung Linggu Mai, Dennis de Witt sa Strange and Paranormal Tales from Malacca, skritura-skritura di peskisadora-peskisador Margaret Sarkissian, Kenneth Jackson kung Mario Pinharanda Nunes, kung Sara Santa Maria sa stori keninu The Gut Demons.

Na post futura, yo logu mazinah mas di nomi-nomi di strelapedra soneh (chuma Pluto kung Makemake) kung otru lunga na nus sa Strelafamilia.
Beyond Tera, Lunga and Sol, although other cultures' names for the planets originate from many different sources, a large number of them use names of deities or archetypal entities (for a full list, check out Planetary Linguistics here or Robert Little's collection here). Hence, for the planets' names in Kristang, they could also follow the same, using names of our own archetypal elements. When I was thinking of and generating these names, I also recognised that the planets had connections to the matrices of the psyche in Individuation Theory; hence, I kept that in mind, comparing the matrices with the new suggested names on top of the archetypal considerations mentioned earlier.
To aggregate these archetypal entities, I looked at the existing collections of traditional stories that we have in Kristang: Joan Margaret Marbeck's Ungua Adansa and Linggu Mai, Dennis de Witt's Strange and Paranormal Tales from Malacca, the research of Margaret Sarkissian, Kenneth Jackson and Mario Pinharanda Nunes, and Sara Santa Maria's short story The Gut Demons.
For Mars: The Planet of the Brahminy Kite, Brumelang
using compounding of brumilu and helang
For Jupiter: The Planet of the Naga or Makara, Nagraliya or Nagralaya
using compounding of naga and liang
For Saturn: The Planet of the Tiger, Trigeris or Trigelis
using compounding of tigri or trigera and riska
For Uranus: The Planet of the Green Parrot, Pedragayu
using compounding of pedra, papagayu and bedri
For Neptune: The Planet of the Sea Dragon or the Crocodile, Drakar
using compounding of draku and largatu
For Mercury: The Planet of the Otter or Mousedeer, Lonchil
using compounding of lontra and kanchil
Pra Venus: The Planet of the Horseshoe Crab or Crab, Blangkang
using compounding of blangkas and kanggrezu
In future posts, I will consider Kristang names of the dwarf planets (like Pluto and Makemake) and other moons and smaller planetary objects (e.g. asteroids) in our solar system.
