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. -- "There's no such thing as 'cool'.
