info and propawganda under the cut!

ikati /îːkáːti/

no propawganda provided :(

חתול (khatúl) /χaˈtul/

because it is cat! a little khatul is baby

it just fits 'em, a cat is a chatool, it just is

It sounds funny.

According to the internet it dates all the way back to the Aramic translation of some jewish texts, where it was used to refer to wild cats.

It is sometimes romanized as Khatul/Chatul (given ח is a sound that doesn't appear in English and has no letter that corresponds to it), which means that it might well be where the English for "Cat" originated from.

It has so much potential for nicknames in it, like hataltol which still means cat but its cuter

It sounds nice :) also we use khatula (female cat) when talking about literally any stray cat, even male ones that we know are male and use male pronouns for, but khatul (male cat) for any household cat even if they have a name even if they're female ect. I love language <3
