Looking for a little language help 01/21/2013 09:20 PM CST

I changed my surname a while back to Kaku'tuul, trying for "is with silver".

Just asking if I got the writing of it right or is supposed to be Ka'Ku'Tuul or something else.

I'd avoid naming my character any derivation of 'kaka', but that's just the 3rd grader I keep trapped in the closet again.

Adding nothing to the conversation since 1834.

I'm sure there are a few that would argue that 3rd grader escapes more often than you appear to realize :D

The "pishra" or apostrophe used in S'Kra is used to denote when you breathe. Imagine it as a comma. It's why you can string a whole sentence together without one, or use several for cosmetic reasons. Some words have the pause built into them, like S'Kra and would mean something different without it.

As a simple answer and based ONLY on what I know about the language, your chosen surname isn't wrong for what you wanted it to translate to.
