Crash ma Kraw?

We already have at least one Amestrahan name in the Words: Ki-Abroam. Another likely candidate is k'rash-makar in Words 14:10, where Daymon translates it as "first made by the god of battle." This closely resembles Crash ma Kraw, one of the "fifteen moving planets" listed in the GAEL:

The Egyptian names of the fifteen moving planets are: [1] Oan isis, [2] Flos-isis, [3] flo’ese: [4] Abbesele, [5] Ele ash, [6] Sabble, [7] Slundlo, [8] ear roam, [9] Crash ma Kraw, [10] obbles isim, [11] Izinsbah. [12] missel, [13] Nah me, [14] sile ohee oop Zah, [15] Zool

Daymon's unpublished spreadsheet has "EAG or god of battle first made," so he apparently also made the connection. It's a particularly memorable name, since Crash McCraw sounds like it should be the name of a rockabilly singer or something. Some other names on that planet list also look potentially relevant: missel closely matches missil in our corpus, and Izinsbah is suggestive of Izilba.
