[Neo Prutenia]

Current academic circles trace the name back to two the Old Prutonic words; prattuz and brahtaz. In Prutenia, general consensus is that both words, due to their morphological similarity and synonymity, are the etymological ancestor of the current terms “Prut” and “Pruton”, although popular opinion tends to favour the Prattuz-origin, since it is more in line with Pruton mentality, customs, and culture. The Prattuz-origin links the modern Low Prut term “Prut” over the Early Low Prut “Prat, Prot” and New Hanseatic Prut words “Prat/Pratt”, to Old Hanseatic Prut, all the way back to Old Prutonic “Prattuz”, interpreting it as the “tricky” and “cunning” ones. This is also related to the modern term “Protz(ig)”, meaning pretentious. The Brahtaz-origin recontructs it along the same linguistic principles, linking the modern “Prut” over the words “braht/praht” and “Pracht” and “prachtig/prächtig”, and the current etymologically related Low Prut term “prunk”, with brahtaz, roughly translating to “splendid, splendour / magnificent, magnificence”. This is supported by the “Thavmasios-translation”, as it means essentially the same. It is also etymologically related to the English term “pretty”. A less common hypothesis is the “Gefyra/Brugjon-origin”, where the etymological origin lies in the Old Prutonic translation of Gefyra into Brugjon, hence “bridge”. This is however unlikely, as the word did not go through the same linguistic shifts like the terms “prattuz” and “brahtaz”, nor is it supported by any reliable records.

The "Prut" morpheme is thus commonly translated as either "clever/cunning" or "splendid/magnificent", the -en/-on morpheme is a grammatical addition turning it into a noun, i.e. clever ones/cunning ones, or splendid ones/magnificent ones, and the -ia/-ien suffix denotes that it's a toponym. The term "Neo" is a loanword which just means "new". Hence, Neo Prutenia can be translated as either Place of those who are clever/cunning or Place of those who are splendid/magnificent. In Low Prut, the name ought to be Neu Prutenien, but it's customary to use Neo Prutenia even in our own language.

[Nukherfurbonswedow]

"Nukherfurbonsewedow" was the final word uttered by our country's founder, Mathematician-King Maximus I. As the king made this sound due to the fact that he was choking on an improperly prepared blowfish, it originally had no inherent meaning. However, the Grand Council of Logicians unanimously decided to declare the word part of the Nukherfurbonswedowan National Colloquia, giving it the meaning "Land of the Well-Rounded". This title is in keeping with the country's national religion (the worship of pi).
