'Rurk A'Tarak’s name translates into Basic as "he who fights without knowing" which can seem like a rather strange name for those who don't understand the nature of the Barabel. The Barabel are a proud, honorbound species that take pride in courage in battle. ‘Rurk’s name in his native Barabel, would instead mean: "he who takes on any fight without knowing the odds and still wins" and that makes it a whole lot different.
