Re: I actually was going to propose (and forgot to D: ) galatinai, which scans much better to my eyes. Otherwise, I'd stick with galatinye- English tends to shove any vowel it can into schwa anyway, and fantasy ends up with an overprofusion of apostrophes, it's best not to add to them.
I fear the word 'gala' popping out at the beginning when there's really almost a glottal stop intended between the g and the rest, hence the apostrophe. Uurgh, but yes, damn fantasy cliches, you're totally right.
I reeeally like your suggestion, if it were glatinai would you still get the right vibe from it? I have NO IDEA why the -ai ending didn't occur to me, I've already been using it for years in several words from Aagiea Ki's native language so that is perfect. D:
