Small Gods: Epithet Titles

My last post gives a d86 table of actors and their actions. I had to exclude many words because they were for roles that do not have ‘actions’. How does one ‘king’? Can one be said to be ‘kinging’? ‘Kinging’ doesn’t even pass spell check!

Of course, in English you can verb nouns all you like, but it tends to look weird.

The table below identifies 48 titles that can be used in epithets. This is an early draft and will be replaced, but it’s enough to start.
