Really the word for humans?
I would say it is a term just for inferior beings. That would fit better. Vekk use this also in a battle quote. Balwin 06:10, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
 * In Polish language version word "bookah" is translated as "fajtłapa", which is insult similar to English "fool" (but not exactly). 83.30.209.100 15:04, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
 * I think it could just the Asuran word for anything that isn't an Asura. That Charr is a bookah, so's the Dwarf behind him. Those three humans? Bookahs, the whole lot of them. --Glommon 10:52, 29 August 2007 (CDT)


 * My bet is outsider, or something like that. Kinda with thesame reasoning Glommon gave :) --84.24.206.123 10:59, 29 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Just replace "Bookah" with "Meetbag". xD &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 18:36, 29 August 2007 (CDT)
 * I lold. KOTOR has such awesome dialogue. --Kale Ironfist 20:04, 29 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Actually, if you listen to the leaked sound clips, "bookah" is a made up monster that Asura scare their kids with. --68.106.220.146 20:17, 29 August 2007 (CDT)
 * I just saw one of the movie clips, after Finding Gadd and during the quest to speak to Oola, Vekk says that a bookah is a creature used to scare Asuran children. Known for it's tall stature and bellowing voice. When your character inquires that they use that term to describe humans, Vekk responds, "If the bellowing fits." --User:Aerv 12:07, 1 September 2007 (PDT)

"Bookah" the way Vekk pronounces it sounds exactly as the name of Guild Wars publisher in Russia, Buka company. Also in Russian folklore Buka is some kind of the beast used to scare little children to make them behave properly ("Be good, or evil Buka will come and take you away").
 * Bookah is a monster used to scare Asuran children; Buka is a beast used to scare Russian children? That sounds a bit too close to be coincidence, perhaps the word was based off of that meaning. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Ĵĩôřũĵĩ Đēŗāķō.> .cнаt^  21:36, 13 September 2007 (CDT)
 * It is possible. Since many characters bear Russian names (Anton for example), why can't there be Russian-based words used in game lexics? Razbaz 17:24, 25 September 2007 (GMT)
