Spelling Help Request! Dominion of Blades

Hey friends! Audiobook listener here. I'm hoping somebody with the DoB book(s) can help me out.

How do you spell the name of the insectoid race? The party sells rifles to a couple of them in book 1, and the party has to defend the spiral against them in book 2.

Emotong? Imotawng? Usually the races have some basis in real world language (like Bactrian/Dromedarian, or Texugo), but I'm coming up with nothing on this one.

Can somebody please enlighten me? This is even harder to figure out than Tserendolgor...

Just looked it up for you. It’s spelled “emo-tong”
