While lego agreed to cease appropriating new words in 2001, the 2003-released game Mata Nui Online Game II drew from a gamut of languages to name every character based on their elemental affiliation. These seem to have been selected haphazardly and should be treated as even less indicative of actual word meanings than the original set - note that for many the actual language isn't identified as the sources themselves were vague (marked with an *).

Most of these names did not appear outside the game itself. 6 were selected by lego and scrambled to be legally compliant, to use for products in 2004.
