Testikel = Testicle

It would appear that Greek and Latin-based words that would end in a "y" in English will end in an "i" in Malay. More relevant to the word "testikel," it would also appear that words that end in "icle" in English, e.g. "testicle," will end in "kel" in Malay.

This would also seem to indicate that Malay often uses a more literal and simple phonetic spelling that, nonetheless, will make sense to English speakers because the phonetic script, in at least some cases, is similar to that of that of English.

It is not known at this time whether the pronunciation actually bares any direct relationship to the spelling.
