15.7. Why is it named after Morlocks, weren’t they, like, bad?

While the Morlocks of Wellian fame are best known for their culinary preferences, I think Wells misrepresented them. And even if he didn’t, we don’t treat our own Eloi any better. Meat choices aside, the Morlocks worked below to maintain the machines that simplified life above. That’s why the Morloc language adapts their name.
