    In Chinese watermelon is called 西瓜(west melon) and wintermelon is 冬瓜 (winter melon) but the first word sounds like 東 (east). Pumpkins are called 南瓜 (south melon) and in some places a certain squash is called 北瓜 (north melon)

    When I was a kid, I used to live near places called Sussex and Essex.

    I never encountered Nussex nor Wessex and that troubles me.

    Wessex was a kingdom in Britain. And it's an area of London. There is also Middlesex as well. But I can't find a norssex.

    Sure, I get all that, but I didn't grow up in that area. I grew up near other direction-sexes.

    South doesn't start with "Su," so I assume North-sex (in this context) wouldn't start with "Nor." In fact, I looked this up and found this interesting article, which is perhaps not academically correct (I don't know) but shows that my reasoning is not isolated.

    Watermelon. Earthmelon. Firemelon. Airmelon.

    Long ago, the four elemelons lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Watermelon attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elemelons, could stop them, but when the world needed it most, it vanished.

    Stupid English. I read "windmelon" as wind(1), not wind(2). I couldn't figure out how you could wind a melon.

    1. as in turning and twisting
    2. as in moving air

    I can see something spicy as firemelon. Like ginger or something something bright like Tiger Melon.. Earthmelon makes me think of squash. Its windmelon that doesn't really conjure anything. I just see apples in my mind cause they falling apples and gravity.

    "Watermelon. Earthmelon. Firemelon. Airmelon. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avamelon kept balance between the melon tribes. But that all changed when the Firemelons attacked.

    Back in the day, we'd sit outside by the campfire, eating melons and look at this meme (printed out, smart phones weren't a thing yet).
