@-aan/-laan, mindoraan is an entirely different word that doesn't feature the suffix -aanMindokaan is the example given in the notes, from mindok.

@-maar, this suffix can be used in a variety of ways. In the canon, geinmaar "onself," and briinahmaar "sisterhood." The word fahdonmaar would be like saying "friendhood."

@-dein/-ein, sure, we could probably replace this entirely with -maar.

@-u'u, this is an invented possessive suffix to demonstrate "their." The word zu'u is unrelated. Bormahu'u 'their father." It should be semi-canon though since it's based on the possessive suffix -u, so I fixed that.

Kothrakaas

Perhaps the word "Fornicate" could fit into this definition?

Kolok

Could this be Sukiin or Sulok? I think it would be a lot better. However wouldn't this word be non canon? Due to the fact that it is made up?

-dein / -ein: I agree this needs to go. Its usage seems trivial. 

Kolok:   @Ahmuldein, it's semicanon because it's made up of canon words "ko" and "lok". I don't think a literal translation would suffice. Can I throw "alokaan" out there? It means "has risen", which I think is a bit more poetic, if nothing else.

Rinidsul

Methinks "rosul" (balance-day) would be better and more canonical.

@Kolok, this literally means "in the sky."

@dein / -ein, it will be gone but I haven't gotten around to replacing it yet.

@Rinidsul, I agree, rosul sound much better.

@Avok, root word listed.

@Naako, yup, this is an adjective, fixed.

Mal

Can this be a canon alternative for "petty" and "pathetic" in certain contexts? If so I think it should be noted.

In the alphabet page, the names of the letters conflict with other words.

Is this an issue? Many English letters are pronounced the same as actual words.
