Since you are self-evidently correct, the only question now is, what language do "cill" and "vank" come from?

@dougmerritt The language of "plausible American surnames for people whose usernames are puns about killing text". Edit: According to wiktionary, Cill being the root of Kilkenny and Vank being upstream of Peter Venkman of "ghostbusters" plausibly substantiating my theory.

Off off topic, a Turkish speaker might pronounce "cill" as an English speaker would pronounce "jill" (and "çill" as "chill"). I don't think that either "cill" ("cil") or "vank" are Turkish words, though, but I haven't checked. @dougmerritt @screwlisp @vindarel @sanityinc @simon_brooke @jackdaniel
