Rkou : [krø:k] (Hero) from < *[kro:k] to do a mighty deeds.

(The massive sound change is because Rkou has neither fricative other than /h/ nor palatal consonant. Also, I dropped the unstressed vowel, as Rkou's words are usually monosyllabic.)
IPA of my name: [xʷtɛ̀k]

Favourite morphology: Polysynthetic, Ablaut
Favourite character archetype: Shounen hero

It seems like you have forgotten the next word. Let me continue.

kruʔ [ˈkrʊˀ]: 'to do, prepare, perform (smth)' (v).
>ma-kruh or k<am>ruh: 'IND-do', '<IND>do' (both are accepted)
>∅-kruʔ: 'SUBJ.do'
>∅-kruʔ: 'IMP.do'
One of the few non-auxiliary monosyllabic verbs, it is most often used with a nominal loanword complement, e.g. kruʔ-bukas 'to perform a christian burial' (bukas < bukas (Kavalan) 'to cover the dead'), kruʔ-suɕi 'to prepare sushi'. From Middle Sataw *qruˀɦ 'to do smth. immediately or rigorously', in turn from Old Sataw *qluq 'to behave heroically', possibly from PAn *quluH 'head, main, chief'.

Next word: apa [ˈaβɐ] 'then (FUT)' (adv.)
