One grammar comment - the way <pong> works is that the thing being named
gets a <-vaD>, while the name is the direct object:
DIrvamvaD <walIt> lupong tera'nganpu'.
Also, I'd probably transliterate "wallet" as <wallet> or maybe <wal'et>, but
that's just me. With <walIt> or <walet>, I stress the second syllable, and
it just comes out weird. I think it's time to go through the (very brief)
section in TKD on stress again, just to know for sure what it says.
That was kinda the effect I was going for, actually. "Those Terrans call this
skin a (demonstrating the strange name they have chosen) ' wah - lit '.
