You left off "la" before "croatian." It would probably be worth creating a fu'ivla for "Croatia". I don't know how "Croatia" is pronounced in Croatian, but using the English pronunciation, you would get something like "gugdrkro'eyca", which like most fu'ivla, I find pretty unpronouncable! Perhaps someone with the required arcane knowledge could come up with a stage 4 fu'ivla. By the way, I've been wondering if the word "cravatte" (tie) and its equivalent in other languages comes from "Croat", since apparently it was brought to England by an English soldier who saw Croatian irregulars wearing it. co'o mi'e robin.
