Etymology
Having once been under Gutiskar rule, the term Avxynt originally came from the words av (out) and Xynt (person) which originally came to mean foreigner, thus Avxyntlande meant land of the foreigners. This was because the word Xynt became the word for someone of the mainland, which was the Gutiskar Kingdom. After being separated, Xynderland retained this name. Nowadays, Avxynt is simply used in Xynder to refer to a Xynden.
A similar name appeared in Laefevian, âsitti (?), originally deriving from the word for foreign.
