I read that thread. And I agree that usinga made-upterm would be easier. But, I am of the Gene Wolfe school of thought. Find an existing or archaic word for a new term and it will sound more natural.



here's a thought: use a term that alludes to Gene Wolfe's New Sun cycle.

Just for example, the term cacogen could be applied to these people, allusive of GW's application to that foreign element that is looked down on by all societies. These 'cacs' would be considered as evil by the worst elements of both worlds.

Perhaps there are other elements of GW's seven groups of society in the world of the New Sun that could be drawn from.
