Etymology
Lotuko and Lotuho are established external English names for the people whose self-name is Otuho. Their deeper etymology is uncertain. Latooka is a historical colonial spelling used for both the people and their territory, but Darwin's occurrence names the territory of a chief and is kept source-scoped.
