Out of curiosity what led you to affix Do to Kiin

Anyway, as far as I know there isn't a known way to say "again" or "re-". 

There is however canon Vokiin "unmake" so sure there could definitely be a way to say "make again".

(It should also be iterated here that one should make clear if you're theorizing a non- or semi-canon word or discovered a canon word, and always use references).

Hmm, as an indirect translation of "reborn" one might rather use something with the root Diil "undead/undeath". 

Diilaan could for instance translate into roughly "made undead"... I think?

A stretch would be Vodiil, "un-undead". :)

Someone told me in the question board that "Do" is the closest prefix to "re", so I made "dokiin" from that.

Frinmulaar said that if "re" was an abbreviation for "regarding" then yes that would be Do but we're not talking about that, we're talking about re- prefix = "again" for which there is no translation.

I personally would translate it to vowuth kiin, "new (un-old) birth." Vokiin and vodiil imply completely different concepts from rebirth, and the prefix "do-" isn't canon, so "dokiin" doesn't really work with the canonical rules of the language.
