Ra means name.
The Okoda do not give names the same way most people do on Earth. Here most often, if not all of the time names are given to a child at some point in their life whether it be when they're just born or when they're ten, but they have a set name all of their life that everyone calls them. The Okoda mostly rely on what are essentially nicknames. Everyone who knows a person has their own name for them. Most often the name is something that describes the named person in some way or is related to the conditions that they first met. Names also must have the prefix tem- appended to them which comes directly from the gerundive of "to be." So someone who makes languages--which I imagine you who are reading this probably do--might be called temzumotat-e/-u meg degod - tem- = name (being), -zumo- = to build, -tat- = gerund(ive), -e/-u = gender; meg = with the purpose of/for; deg- = language, -od = ablative.

This has been a relatively short post, because this language is now definitely going to change alot, and not only the pronunciation, the grammar is going to move away from these very Latin-like (latinoid?) nouns, but I think most of the rest is fine and can be tweaked to fit its parent language.
I may start posting what I have with Zhor and Úlán Nésiv instead of Dega, so I'm not just wasting my time with something that is bound to greatly change.
