    Exactly, you got the point.

    Indoktonos, or phonos, means "Killer", so it means "The Killer of Indians". And this could be used as a title. Not wise though, especially for the local population. Imagine yourself being ruled by Americans (not that we all aren't) and have a ruler appointed as your High Master or something, who also happens to be called "The Killer of Australians". Not exactly nice, right?
