Regarding linke... either she got distracted by the length of the word and wrote the letters that came to mind first (which I see Kira doing often) or she sounded it out as lye-{glottal stop}-ing. And of course "ing" doesn't SAY i-n-g, it's like a nyhhn sound. I could see it being li-nink or li-nke.
