    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?

    Damn. Corrected thanks. It seems Physics is getting more and more involved with my thoughts lately In other words, that's what happens if you study Physics 'till 2-3a.m. in the morning...

    EDIT: LOL, I saw the "funnier" part. I made the link with "matter", then realized it sounds more like "mater" from "mate" Makes more sense than the first though
