- scourge-pistoleer = flagrant, orspirator/orspiratine
- scourge-wit = severine
- scourge-leer = staide, austerine
- skold-leer = scryer, saltscry, saltstrait
- skold-pistoleer = locksalt (though really, such a person is really a skold with a penchant for delivering potives from a firelock)
- leer-pistoleer = scrylock, lockstrait, straitlock
- wit-leer = looksooth, straitsooth
...and I could go on. Now, it must be said at any such combinations are not as common as you might think, especially as true pistoleers - like sagaars - see themselves as a set apart, with secret knowledge and dedication to a singular expertise in a single skill. Indeed, sagaars are even more rigourous about this; for them it is all about the purity of the Dance with out taints, cheats or augmentations . A person might gain some fundamental moves of the dance (akin to basic and more intermediate martial arts), but if you call yourself a sagaar it is because you have committed to a way off living, to a higher plan of existence. (sorry, giantfan)
As for Mr Guy-of-Moose's combination, well I was thinking, sir, you might want to have a go at coming up with your own name, for such a combination would be most probably unique to you and therefore have no common name in the Half-Continent. FYI - messing about with highly unstable and dangerous potives whilst wrestling with the instability of you mimeotes (foreign organs) you could expect to have a rather short life span, even without the ubiquitous threat of a terrible gashing end.
It is worth noting that these names might change over time and with further thinking and revision; just like most other things H-c, I am constantly reworking and adding and subtracting to ideas - especially as I get deeper and deeper into the world with each novel. It can be a tad disconcerting to discover in writing a story that something I thought pretty well thought out over many years of natural accretion plus solid hours of think-time proves to be just barely enough to start with, that I need to go much further into notions and inventions than I had ever anticipated.
It is a good problem to have, I reckon.
(Oh! I have realised it is April Fools today, but I cannot think of anything funny - though plenty that is foolish)
