===Etymology===
The name ''etzeá'''s etymology is heavily debated, though one theory is that it developed agglutinatively by the combination of one word and a case marker: Proto-Yeldhic ''*estu'', "land" and ablative case marker ''*-ē'', or in other words, ''*estʷē'', "away from the mainland".

===Formation===
===Formation===
The first Etzeic peoples were a Proto-Yeldhic people who probably inhabited Kokiso Point, the closest coastal landmark on Talkoch to Etzeán Island. They probably arrived on Etzeán Island around 2400 UH, just in time before the development of the Paleoyeldhic languages on the mainland in 2370 UH. On Etzeán Island, the Etzeic peoples spread all the way to the Tûzogyâud Range by 1750 UH. The areas around Mount Ogoñi was settled later, around 1600 UH.
