See below Explanation: Most probably from a serial story -by Broken Rei- entitled: 'The Ladies of Riake': ...Those who wished not to be saints were named Riakians. They moved to a land of great deserts, where they built the city of Riake, meaning "Quickly"... www.xenith.net/headquarters/riake.html Definitely not Dutch. Also found 'riake'-references to an African language (spoken in Kenya), but can't help you with the translation here. Some context would indeed be helpful:-) |
