Names are spelled and pronounced differently due to a wide variety of reasons, which I’m sure you’re aware of. Heck, your name is Lukas as opposed to Lucas. Are they no longer equal in their existence? They are pronounced the same, after all.
English, Japanese, etc have a large amount of words spelled the same and said differently, or spelled differently and pronounced the same way. BIONICLE is not so dissimilar in this approach, and it’s easy to assume there are a variety of dialects and variations from region to region.
And to that last point, not sure the relevance. We just had Macku kindly mention word from one of the co-creators of BIONICLE, who isn’t American. So I’m not sure what the point of bringing that up was.
One final point: Thoughts on the name Kopeke?
Not going to lie, you’ve kind of been off topic for a while now. This wasn’t a question for you. None of these topics are. So I’m not sure why people keep interjecting themselves as if it’s “Ask me.”
