Which is my Disallowed Word?

Anyone have any idea what the issue is with my gallery description? Wish the game would highlight the problem words ;(

New Zealand Trees/Plants

NZ plants from AdventureAwaits Debug including Nikau, CabbageTree, Pohutukawa, SilverFern, Toetoe. The short palm trees around GibbiPoint are Nīkau, New Zealand's only native palm tree. The pointy trees with the flax-looking leaves is the Cabbage Tree, its Māori name is Tī Kōuka and it has historically been used for weaving, food and medicine. Captain Cook's crew ate it to prevent scurvy. Pōhutukawa have beautiful red flowers in December. #liveedit #nz #newzealand #NZDebug

    Another odd one: Ophelia Specter's family name, Nigmos, is also disallowed in the gallery. "Funny" considering it is legacy name.

  • Oh my gosh it's "Nikau/Nīkau" (with and without the macron), which is actually really upsetting because it's literally the name of that tree - we don't have any other word for them in New Zealand. It's pronounced "Nee-ko".

    I was stupidly excited to share info about the New Zealand-inspired items and now I'm sad lol. You've taken the tree from my country but won't let us say its name?

    To any kiwi, this tree is unmistakably a nīkau

    PLEASE can we allow "nīkau" / "nikau" in the gallery? EA_Solaire​
