-Many Ǣdyihòzhis cultural practices are shared with the [[ethnicity:abethine:Uzhidamis]], of whose [[geopolitical:uzhidam:|city]] Ǣdyihòzh was a colony. That said, the Ǣdyihòzhis are fairly open to new members and (up to a point) the foreign influences they bring with them. Though being born in an Ǣdyihòzhis environment helps greatly, it is generally felt by its members that being Ǣdyihòzhis is less about blood ties than about having the appropriate attitude and allegiance to the city.

 Nouns of the valuable or animate classes, used as female names, will have a suffix //-ik// or //-am//.

-The Ǣdyihòzhis share with the Uzhidamis the conviction that it is not appropriate that living females of the same clan should share the same given name. While being named for a //deceased// clan member - whether an ancestor or a relative - is considered entirely appropriate and and a laudatory method of keeping alive the memory of those now gone, giving a female child the name of one who is still alive is seen as a form of appropriation. One of the ways in which the [[family:house_of_peirem#Rebel Royals]] have chosen to emphasize the claimed illegitimacy of the other members of Ǣdyihòzh's [[family:house_of_peirem|ruling house]] is by deliberately using names already in use by the latter; the rebels' current head, [[person:Ayhyam the Exile]] (hīye Èdnamèn Ayhyam tayrinèn Peirèmèn), was given the same name as [[person:Ayhyam]] (hīye Ōzhdinemèn Ayhyam tayrinèn Peirèmèn), the aunt of the [[person:ednam|current]] [[geopolitical:ǣdyihozh:grand_princess]]. (The legitimate line, for their part, has been more gracious in this respect; the Grand Princess was named in memory of Ayhyam the Exile's mother, who had died not long before.)
