I agree. I like Keven best. I was letting the spelling decide for me.

Yes, all this needs to be rethought and regularized. "Kau" is gone. To
make in the sense of Esperanto igi is 'fa.' To make in the sense of create
is 'far.' Both from the Romance. Related to that is 'kar,' from Hindi,
meaning 'to do.'

I like 'Zander.' And 'Hale' or even 'Hal'. Ultimately, of course,
everybody can pick his own Txeqli name, regardless of what others might
