I'm kinda new at this too, but what about {*Skajo'* vIponglu'}?
TKD Section 4.2.5 gives us {-lu'} to use passive voice. "I am
named/called Kyris" is then {*qayrIS* vIponglu'} -- yes, that's the right
prefix on {pong}, thanks to a documented exception.
What do you think? If this has already been brought up, thrashed
out, and discarded, just let me know.
Until then... call me Kyris.
jIHvaD *qayrIS* yIpong.
