:My guess is that "vi" comes from "vibration" (as it vibrates its wings while flying) or "vizor" (its eyes are vizor-like and ties with spaceship inspiration) and "ka" comes from "cable" (its legs look like power cables and ties with it plugging them into Charjabug). --[[User:Vladimirescu|Vladimirescu]] ([[User talk:Vladimirescu|talk]]) 17:24, 14 July 2016 (UTC) | :My guess is that "vi" comes from "vibration" (as it vibrates its wings while flying) or "vizor" (its eyes are vizor-like and ties with spaceship inspiration) and "ka" comes from "cable" (its legs look like power cables and ties with it plugging them into Charjabug). --[[User:Vladimirescu|Vladimirescu]] ([[User talk:Vladimirescu|talk]]) 17:24, 14 July 2016 (UTC) | ||
"Vika" is Finnish for bug, so that could be where it comes from. [[User:Logo7|Logo7]] ([[User talk:Logo7|talk]]) 00:42, 20 July 2016 (UTC) | "Vika" is Finnish for bug, so that could be where it comes from. [[User:Logo7|Logo7]] ([[User talk:Logo7|talk]]) 00:42, 20 July 2016 (UTC) | ||
Whoever suggested "wicga" from Old English as the origin doesn't know what they're talking about. The "cg" digraph in Old English is pronounced with a hard "j" sound, or "dg", like in "bridge", so "wicga" is nothing like "vika", it's more like "widga", and is the source of "wig" in "earwig". | :Whoever suggested "wicga" from Old English as the origin doesn't know what they're talking about.
