** Except for disambiguation, no distinction is done between them. The actual word ''omotē'' is a Holenagic borrowing (from ''âmoteit'', ''-âmht''), as seen in the Chlouvānem adaptations of Holenagic toponyms (e.g. ''Roihfsiâdâmht'' [ˈreːʃɔtɔ(n)s] → ''Rēṣotomotē''), where it means 'fjord', but in Chlouvānem it means 'ria' in every case. If needed, it is 'fjord' that is specified, as ''ñailūmulnomotē'' (literally "glacial push ria"). | |||
** The Inquisition has some of the largest rias of Calémere, as the ''Kyūkamiša ga omotē'', the tidal outlet of Lake Lūlunīkam; the ''Nambaɂumē ga omotē'' in Ogiñjātia, Calémere's longest ria, at whose mouth lies the city of Lūlunimarta; and the ''Yoluša ga omotē'', second-longest, also in Ogiñjātia. On the other hand, there is only one proper fjord in the Inquisition (excluding the Lalla Kēhamyuñca), ''Munamišali ga omotē'' on Aratāram island. | |||
