So I am listening to this as an audiobook rather than reading it which leaves me with an interesting problem. They keep referring to the brother's people as the Nausd, Mazd, Mauzg? I do not recognize the word and since I cannot see the word, I do not know how to spell it. So my question to someone who read it as text, how is it spelled? Thanks.

This was a really lovely read. Very wholesome with that fantastic touch of bizarro-mania you would expect from Robin Sloan by now. It was fresh and flavorful like a loaf of ... sourdough bread. Oh, also I have not found any comment area and only saw that you could ask questions here.
