Whee..
Âdlantki - my lang only
Atlantic - not even gonna try :p
Dunamy - my lang first; a Dunamys in .nz that sells computer hardware;
something in Korean and a few transliterated pages in .ee and .ru
(instrumental plural of something?)
Ibran - [Google: Did you mean _brian_?] my lang first; Indústria
Brasileira de Alimentos Naturais; Ibran Mustafic (a Bosnian); some
program in FORTRAN.
Kirumb - [Google: Did you mean _krumb_?] my lang first; a Luganda
glossary of some kind -- "kirumb" apparently means "stern" (of a boat);
someone's surname
Rami - too common a word [537,000 hits]
Sirius - no point trying ;p
Skeskatai - my lang only
Trentish - my lang first; a gamer's username; reasonably common adjective
meaning "of Trent" (the place, but sometimes a person's name);
*Muke!
