Pronounciation
Should probably have a section on pronunciation. I've heard "zinn" and "k'zinn"; "g-zinn" (with the Arabic gutteral g/q/k) and "xha-zinn" with the Slavic aspirated H are also possible. How does Niven pronounce it? 72.183.155.139 (talk) 13:22, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
spine
According to the original description of the kzinti, they do not have a spine, their torso is a flexible cage of struts. Bonnie Dalzell's illustration: http://www.sloan3d.com/covers/kzinskel.jpg -- Resuna (talk) 15:19, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
names
Is it known how kzinti names are chosen, e.g. do kzinti entitled to use a name get to choose the name themselves, or is it assigned to them by a warrior committee, or what? Is it chosen on the spot (at the time they earn the right to have a name) or ahead of time ("win a few more battles and you'll be known as Bob instead of spaceship-janitor")? If this info is available it should be mentioned in the article. Thanks. 67.119.15.30 (talk) 17:50, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
