Turi and Lado are not words in English? (Unless I'm very much mistaken). All the other's are, bar Rand, but that is a variable name beloved of coders!

Turi prefixes Turing (which means the act of pissing in Nepali) and Lado is popular in Spanish i guess.

Sounds like a good reason to not open a business in Nepal.
