Impossible. "nom" means "name".

nom de plume
nom de voyage
nom de guerre
Exactly. That's what I meant with the spelling of pseudonom. I seriously doubt he accidentally made the sandgorgon's name "name." He might as well have made it John Doe... hence, my point.

summation:

"Nom.

"If you don't kill me, you won't have to go back to the Doom."
...
"That is a mighty deed. It is said among the Bhrathair that any man who slays a Sandgorgon will live forever."

"I didn't."

"Not? Are you mad? Without death, no power can recompel the beast to its imprisonment."
*zapp* *whir* *zoom*
*sob*
*swoop*
"My life!"
...
...
...
"Nom."
...
"Thanks for coming."

"The Sandgorgon speaks."
...
"It wishes to return to its home in the Great Desert and its bound kindred. From the rending of the Raver, Nom has gained knowledge to unmake Sandgorgons Doom - to release its kind from pent fury and anguish."

Isn't it obvious? He did it to keep the French from invading Bhrathairealm. Nom isn't a word likely to come up in conversation in English, but as soon as some snotty-nosed Parisian comes along with a white gold baguette . . . POW!!!

If I accidently let Nom slip i'd pretend like I was saying nomination. That's fair, right?
