Default Canthan Translations for Skills

Can anyone here translate some assassin skills into the Canthan language? Is it possible or is there not enough information about Canthan?

Thanks.

Preferably "Death Blossom", "Way of the Assassin", "Unseen Fury" or something poetic like that!

Any proof and examples? Best with a translation to something understandable, as with the Rosetta Stone. Guesswork might be involved, as with the Krytan Alphabet we deciphered on GW2G.

This is Old Canthan. Both written in traditional Old Canthan, and using latin letters (the latter is only done for player aid as latin letters don't exist in Tyria).

For those three skills, we only know Assassin (Tahkayun) and Death in Old Canthan.

Though I suppose you can replace fury with rage...

We know very little Old Canthan characters, and less of what latinized old Canthan translates into.
