What does your screenname mean? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Valesse, Legend of Zelda? You are clearly extremely cool.

As for my name...it might make less sense than anything else, because that's what I do. Malkatoj is actually Esperanto, but we can't quite figure out what it means. I can, however, explain the etymology and hope it makes *some* sense.

Mal: opposite. For example, 'hela' is light and 'malhela' is dark.
Kato: Cat. As in, meow.
j: plural, pronounced like a Y

So my name means "opposite of multiple cats" and I can't figure out what that would actually be. So, any ideas would be greatly appreciated, so I know what I'm named after.
