After all, there are a number of miqo'te with K in their names that we don't know at all. I also recall a game master or someone saying some that some tribes can even adopt a second letter in the case of sub-clans.

For example; Y'shtola could become Ya'shtola or something.

I'm not sure what you would be looking for in terms of traits, but we have a set law and sanction system that everyone usually abides by. That and its assumed that most of the tribe is proficient with spears, though not everyone of course. My character favours archery for example, while K'ILE IS ABSOLUTELY USELESS AND ISN'T WORTHY ENOUGH TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH K'THALEN'S BLOODLINE.

As to the second letter being added to a clan, that is in referance to a Tia who goes off and founds their own Tribe. They would use the original Tribe letter(but because they did not earn their own branch tribe) They would have to add a second letter to their name to signify the NEW tribe. So if say Y'shtola tia wanted to become a nuhn and didn't want to do the hard work of securing a new hunting ground they could split off with any willing females and start their own tribe. This tribe would then have two letters in front of their name starting with Y and the letter of the new Nuhn's choosing.

So, Say Y'shtola really likes the letter U (for whatever odd reason you can think of) they would then pick to have their new tribe be named Yu'xxxxx.

However, if the Tia (Y'shtola) does some exemplary work and gains control of a new hunting ground for the Tribe they would be granted Nuhn status and the rights to that land for their own sub-set of the tribe. This would mean that they get to have their own tribe AND get to keep their name as is without adding a second letter.

Another important point from the Lore forums is that these new tribes are often very short lived. So while they may stick around for a generation or two, they generally dye off before they can become large enough to continue the new double letter line.
(My theory on this is that even if the females do stick around, the low male birth rate may mean that the new Nuhn never has a male heir, and thus the clan dies with them. Or they have one male heir, but that male never has a male child. )

Ohh, I see. Thank you for clarifying that for me.
