Hups... that one got away a little too fast. Anyway the point is
clear. Actually I meant to delete it, because I couldn't find any
examples, then clicked Send instead. But I looked in the wrong place.
Here are a few examples:

nobot - morning star; serviceman wielding same
Occurs with a t in highland names, where it should have a d.
kuntiak - dog breeder
Highland name, whereas 'dog' in highland Urianian is 'gon'.
vaslim - archaic name for physician/healer, highland: fizlum
Occurs in highland names such as Vaslam.
