Teotkoa

Names and titles of things have always been the bane of my creative endeavors, so when I finally land on a proper name for me, it's kinda a big deal.

Had these with the slag term Mutakar for ages (as in Mutant Ertakar, Ertakar being the species) but I never liked it and always intended to replace it.

I finally think I've settled on Teotkoa

Languages are always so interesting. Learning Cyrillic this past year has blown my mind a little at the possibilities of language. English only has one "combination" letter and that is X (ks). Russian has a whole lot more, ye, yo, yoo, ya, ch like check, ch like loch, ch like chef, ts, sh, and eey all represented by single letters instead of combinations. There are also sounds that aren't in English such as the "jh" which isnalso found in French and English sounds that don't exist (w and j). Of course making up ones own script has its own challenges, but itndoes give ideas on common sound combinations and it's interesting how sounds in the language affects the development of the script.

An amendment, I forgot about Q, which makes a "kw" sound so English has two compared to Russian's 10!
