The purpose was to get a name that would be familiar enough to allow readers to see immediately what it refers to.Likewise, Paradigm's book about mind-flayers use the word "illeth", which is close enough from illithid to be instantly recognized, while different enough to be OK. (The permission Paradigm got was for the creature and name mind-flayer, but not for the PI name illithid.)Baateluth and Tanarlith have also the extra advantage of being "consistent" with yugoloth and gehreleth.</blockquote>
