Lost in Translation

[Firefoot]

Here's what I could find out:

The symbol K comes from the Latin word "Kalium" which in turn comes from "alkali."

So I tried Kalimac, Kalessin, Kath (that one is sort of pushing it, though...), The Ka, Alcarillo, Alkanoonion, and Alatar (also pushing it a bit), all to no avail.

Here also is a list I found of the word Potassium in other languages:

Latin: Kalium
Czech: Draslík
Croatian: Kalij
French: Potassium
German: Kalium - s
Italian: Potassio
Norwegian: Kalium
Portuguese: Potássio
Spanish: Potasio
Swedish: Kalium

Probably excessively over-analyzed ( ), but maybe it will help someone...
