What's wrong with "mifckiku"? A key is not a cipher; it's a parameter to a 
cipher, being the small amount that has to be kept secret (except for public 
keys) while the cipher algorithm can be public. ckiku2=mifra3.

I checked "hash" and "salt" in Wikipedia. Most of the languages transliterate 
"hash", but all the ones that I can read except Indonesian translate "salt" 
(which in the ordinary sense is "garam"). So I'd say "fancrxacu" and 
"mifrxaca", but I'm not sure what to call cryptographic salt. Does it have a 
source and composition? Does it flavor anything (thinking of "tsapi")?
