Same here.  The Kassi were originally called the Sanú (I think the acute
was on the u), later I came to "realize" that the name was actually
Kassí, well, after experimenting with a name that meant "The Faithful
Ones".  That word is now sometimes used to refer to the Southern Kassi
during the Holy Wars, while the Northern Kassi were called
Traditionalists.
