I think I remember reading somewhere the Alyeids had their own language so maybe 'mer' just wasn't part of it? another theories, maybe there was another word for alyeid that's been lost which did end in mer, like maybe the alyeids called themselves something-mer, but the humans called them 'alyeids', and then the name ending in 'mer' just got lost.

Just a theory though
