The "n'ha" usage comes from Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover series
of science fiction novels.  I don't know whether she made it up or
got it from some known language.  She has a set of female characters
called Renunciates, or Free Amazons, who have made themselves
independent of the strictures normally imposed on women of Darkover,
and who change their names to show matrilineal descent.
