Another character that I designed for Torn World, Dorje, has been approved and is now available for adoption.
Dorje is a woman whose unfortunate past overshadows her present, making it difficult for her to enjoy life. She is competent at many domestic skills and usually willing to lend a hand with whatever needs doing.

I looked up the Tibetan version. I think I first encountered that object with the transliteration "dorge," like this:
http://dorge.org/dorge.html
And it has the pronunciation "door-jay."
In Torn Tongue, the pronunciation is "DOOR-jeh." I see the similarity, though. There are a few other Torn Tongue words that echo English or other words. That's a known effect across languages -- it's called "false friends" when two words look the same but have different meanings.
