Section ID Curiousity - Kisanzi - 04-01-2005
Does anyone know what the surnames on the section ID's mean? (Example: Purple"NUM", Green"IL", Blue"FULL", Yellow"BOZE") What's the "NUM", "IL", "FULL", and "BOZE" part stand for? Also, what do the section ID's like Viridia or Skyly even stand for?
It's just a curiousity that has been scratching at the back of mind. If someone has an answer, or even a theory, please post it because I have no leads at the moment.

well, it seems they are have to do with colours (the first part
). I'm guessing the creator of these decided to top them of with things like num and ly and such. For instance with Viridia, a virid is a kind of flower from the rose family except that it isn't red, it has a bright green hue instead (so they added ia at the end just to make it sound original 
). Skyly, pretty simple. Its Sky blue so they added ly. For whatever reason, it could be anything really but I guess it was just to make it sound better .

i could have swore i watched this show on HGTV, lol, and they said Viridia was a green color. it cought my attention because of pso. hmm and the num, ly stuff, i think youll have to ask Kefta. Kefta knows ALL

viridia is a greenish color (don't know why they didn't add a funny ending), and skyly would be for sky blue
i think that the game makers wanted to confuse on what color you have and make it harder to remember them ("Is it blueill, no, no blueboze. No, that's not it either, darn it! I got it! Bluekal! Wait no!")

Good question. I don't have the answer, but I was really curious too.
Virid is a flower? Wow, didn't know that. I only know that Viridian is Chromium oxide, which is used as a dye. It's a dark blueish-green colour
so they must've named it after that. I know that Viridian City from Pokémon was. (Oh no! I'm going to be branded ultimately sad forever now that I've mentioned Pokémon).

Heh, I was about to say the Pokemon thing. All the cities from Red and Blue were named after colours.
Viridian (Viridia) is a dark green colour, thus Viridia is a dark green.
Sky Blue (Skyly) is a..well...sky blue colour, and thus is a light blue.
I think the end things (Sufixxes? I dunno, Im meant to be good at English but Im not) are there to make the IDs sound less boring to be quite honest.

Maybe it was just a way to make the id's sound better it would sound crap if the just gave you skyblue or dark green
