Have you ever noticed that modern drug names seem to draw off JRR Tolkien languages? The antivirals in Paxlovid are nirmatrelvir and ritonavir, which sound fully Elvish to me. Meanwhile, antibody-based medications all end in -ab, eg bamlinivab, casirimivab, imdevimab, etesimivab, etc. Tell me those don't sound dwarvish.
