On the topic of Strunkiin

Also, in combinations of terms like in "Strunkiin", is the resulting term considered one "new" word, or is it technically considered two terms to prevent any confusion about how many words there are?

For your username, we don't usually make distinction between canon and non-canon words, since you're freely allowed to make any name you want -- Spanish, Russian, Dothraki, etc. When I gave you the word "strunkiin", I basically gave you "strun-kiin" as a word, which follows known Dovahzul naming-conventions for people (as in the example I gave). 

(Rambling ahead...)

Naturally, if someone comes across that name, they won't immediately known if the translation is "this person is the embodiment of storms" or "this person is a descendant of a tribe whose given name is 'Storm-borm'". Naturally one would explain their name anyway. If you want to clarify that it's not an in-game word, just use "Strun-kiin" if you want...
