Our story of Tyreik
The sound of this name can be written many ways, and the most obvious, -reek, spells an English word nobody wants in a name. Tyreik sidesteps it with ei, the spelling English uses for the long ee in Keith, seize and ceiling, so the eye reads a name and not a smell. It is a small, clever choice, and it gives the name a look of its own among its many spellings.
