Creation and Usage Notes
| The original script writer invented this word, so I built around it (that, and the words toto and Munja'kin). With those three words, I saw vowels occurring next to each other, glottal stops in coda position, prenasalized stops/affricates, reduplication, and no [e]. I kind of rolled with that. Really liked what I came up with.
