Palace hall (Themiclesia)

A palace hall (殿, ntenh) is a physical, cultural, and political space in Themiclesia a derivative of the same from Menghe.

The word ntenh in Shinasthana is thought to be related to tur via the prefix n-, Old Menghean *N-tun-s. However, this etymology is not firmly established due to phonological incompatibility. If true, ntenh would have originally meant a plateau or high ground of some kind, which would be congruous with the physical characteristics of a palace hall in Themiclesia, which is always built on an artificial plateau. Thus ntenh would have originally referred the foundation of the building.
