OK. Here are the Kra'Vak word-fragments as I was able to extract them
from the Fleet Book 2 (and Jon's post last February):

Key:
*   Official announced by Jon Tuffley (Feb)
~   Derived from Fleet Book 2
Xx' Beginning syllable (Kra' in Kra'Vak)
X__ Beginning of a 3 letter syllable (K in Kra'Vak)
_xx ending of a 3 letter syllable (ra in Kra'Vak)

~       _ah     Mind
~       _ak     Killer
~       _an     Mother
~       _as     Mountain
~       _ek     ??? (thing?, ship?)
~       _en     Mover
~       _ok     Death
~       _ol     Monster
~       _ra     People
~       B__     Silent
~       D__     Deadly
~ Da' Swift ~ Di' Little (Young?) ~ Do' Follower
~       K__     War
~ Ka' Raider ~ Ko' Attack ~ Lo' Great (Powerful?) * Lu' Sneak, Hider ~ na Path
~       R__     Stealthy (also strategic?)
* Ra' Little, Small ~ Ro' Clouded
~       S__     Sliver
~ Sha' Supplies ~ Si' Rover ~ Sia' Walker
~       T__     Dark
~ To' Seeker
~       V__     Sorrow
* Va' Great, Large * Vo' Hunter ~ Yu' Ruler ~ Zha' World (of)

Example:
Di'Tok  Di-Little T-Dark ok-Death
To'Rok  To-Seeker R-Stealthy From ok-Death
Seeker that brings death by strategy

This should provide a framework for future word-fragments construction
in the Kra'Vak language.

IIRC Jon got a lot of them from Steve Arrowsmith's post from a couple years
ago. You can find his posted Kra'Vak naming scheme
