New name for Antareans
papabob:
Ok, I'll try 8).
The first attack is in Mumbai. I googled a bit and found a page with the most common phrases in english-hindi, and the translation of "Why did you come?" is "Aap kyon aaye". When the Commonwhealth soldiers arrived, it was easy to hear women and children screaming and wondering why they were being attacked. The soldiers thought they was talking about the aliens and, by simple transliteration, started to name the extraterrestrial life forms as 'Kyons' or maybe 'Akyons'.
Reenen:
I like your thinking, though I doubt they'll be screaming "why did you come?". But basing it on english-hindi combination of typical words like "run for your life", or "find a place to hide" or even "alien", is a great idea.
Or maybe some of the hindu gods to whom the locals might have appealed. (I am very uneducated in hindu gods)
