G'day Eli,

Now we've got that straight ;)
We tend to just refer to them as KV, SV and PH (symptom of the acronym
obsessed modern world?), but if its any help Janneke calls the Sa'Vasku
the
"spiders". And based on how I've seen other names transmutated by the
Australian inability to call something by its proper name the Kra'vak
would
probably end up be called something like the "whacks" and the Phalons
"crunchies" (" well sir, that's the noise Bloggs says they make when you
pop 'em").
Cheers
Beth
