The Capellan language was the spoken language of the Capellans of Capella IV.
Given names on Capella IV contained double vowels, with both vowels being pronounced when spoken, such as: Akaar, Deem, Duur, Eleen, Keel and Maab. (TOS: "Friday's Child")
From the revised final draft, dated 11 May 1967: "(NOTE: Double vowels in Capellan names are both pronounced. Example: Maab – (Mah-Ahb) ; Akaar – (Aka-Ahr) ; Eleen – (Ely-Ehn), etc.)"
Furthermore, the script also noted that when Eleen says "McCoy": "She pronounces it "Mac-coy"."
