ᓯᐅᓇᕐᑕᖅ — Inuktitut for "that which lies ahead; a purpose"
Full disclosure: I named this repository at 2 AM, which is probably when most repository names are decided.
Siunertaq comes from Kalaallisut (West Greenlandic), a polysynthetic language — the kind where a single word can encode an entire clause's worth of meaning through agglutination and incorporation. I'm a bit of a grammar nerd, and polysynthetic languages have always fascinated me precisely because of how much structure they pack into a single morphological unit. One word carries subject, object, tense, evidentiality, and mood all at once, with none of it ambiguous if you know the grammar.
That felt like the right metaphor for what this project is trying to do: pack a build graph's topology, its norm constraints, and its effect ordering into a single type-checkable unit — where the structure does the work, not the runtime.
The word itself means something like "that which lies ahead; a purpose" — which seemed fitting for a tool that reasons about what needs to happen before anything actually runs.
