Talking of ktuvoki languages, from what language does the word "ktuvok"
originally come, and what does it mean? The thematic dictionary indicates that
it was Cadhinorian for "demon", but it doesn't say that for sure, and the
ktuvoki could also have taken it from another language.
<hr><i>Mark responds:
<p>It's from Elkarûl, the language of (at least the nearer) elcari.
I don't know if it has a recoverable meaning there. (<b>Nmurthankh</b> "Múrtany" does;
it means "one who denies elcarin solidarity and is ugly, too." <b>n-</b> agentive + <b>murth</b> community + <b>-ban</b> 'anti-' + <b>-kh</b> depreciative.)
<p>The Dhekhnami word for 'ktuvok' is <b>gondaum</b>, which means 'master'.
<p>The Cuêzi word is <b>amnigo</b>, meaning 'son of Amna:s', the
chief of the evil angels.
