Tekeli-Li

Tekeli-Li was presumably a word in the language of the Old Ones, which was mimicked by the Shoggoths of the Mountains of Madness and used by the albino people living in Leng, in the Frozen Land, during the Hyborian Age of Conan, to name at least one of the Shoggoths, and was translated as "death" or "the death that flows".
For a time, it was used as a name for Ta-No, one of the "snow-skins" of Leng.
