====Creation and Usage Notes====
{{djpnotes|quote=This word's pictograph {{veda-orth-reg|form=k}} served as the source for the <i>k</i> glyph in the abjadic system. Also, I can't help but feel it isn't a coincidence that this is the word for "moon", and the [[Castithan language|Castithan]] word for "moon" (by way of [[Indojisnen language|Indojisnen]] [by way of [[Kinuk'aaz language|Kinuk'aaz]]]) is ''[[dwoken]]''.
