Elite Dangerous Ship Name Suggestions for Corsair by Grok

I bought the new Corsair. It's around 40LY jump range, and combat-worthy for PVE. (I only play solo, so not worried about PVP meta.) Asked Grok to suggest some names, and not be afraid to try other languages, these are his answers. I'm pretty pleased with the options. Grok gave pronunciation guides for some of the languages, not English or Latin. For the record, I chose Aetheris Gladius. :^)
