In Eevo, "Tergetian languages" (Terjedib or łynøñ Terjed) refers to naturally evolved vernacular descendants of Classical Windermere, whereas "Windermere" (Dymeeib or łynøñ Dymee) refers to either Classical Windermere or (Revived) Modern Windermere. Some Trician languages such as Clofabosin only use "Windermere" (dameserotin) for Modern Windermere and use "Tergetian" (tergetoserotin) for the naturally evolved clade rooted in CWdm. Netagin uses Qašenin ("Ashanian") for Classical Windermere, Dameaqin for Modern Windermere, and Tyrgetin for Tergetian vernaculars.
