Hee hee. Every name in Uatakassi does that, in my romanization. In
fact, technically, the language should be called uaTakassi. At any
rate, this is because all nouns have a gender prefix (ua- in the case of
the language's name). So, for example, there's tiNlasta (the founder of
their religion), tIalana (the first Empress - tIalanakiba is the full
form of her given name), and so on.
