"Darda" means "hope" in [[Thonthal]], but as the word is pronounced without the second d and the second is pronounced in Darda, it's a play on the word "hope".

"Darda" means "hope" in [[Thonthal]], but as the word is properly pronounced by replacing the second d with a glottal stop, the name "Darda" is a play on the word, something that is relatively common in Thonthal, especially when used in names and titles: this allows them to sound different from the words they allude to, while retaining their meaning.
