Almost certainly.

I'd assume the "a" is "Arkat" in every case. I have asked Greg if he can help with the rest.
FWIW, here are the other obscure and undefined runes I've found (and asked Greg about already): more news when I get it.
FRONELA
[a] p.70, 252 (a croquet hoop with a dot inside the top of the arch: may
mean "Fronela" or "Loskalm"?)
[b] p.78 & 82 (a triangle containing an inverted triangle -- associated with
the Loskalmi Hrestoli Church but *not* its rune)
KRALORELA
[c] p.183 (a squiggly line with a circle at its left end and a dot at its
right end, similar to but not identical with other Kralori "draconic" runes)
[d] Also, the old GoG "Dragon" rune is used in the Kralori section but not
(re?)defined. It could mean "Kralorela" or "Godunya" or something else
altogether.
[e] Also also, are the two runes on pp.190f meant to be in italics? They
look rather odd, and are next to strangely italicised paragraphs.
VERENELA
[f] p.201 (three adjacent circles, the centre one larger & with a curved
tail)
OCEANS
[g] Magasta has two runes on p.217 -- his own ("Water", per p.8) and a
doubled zig-zag (which also appears on p.210). What is the second rune?
VITHELA
[h] p.219 (left: the Mysticism rune with a solid lower half)
[i] p.219 (centre: inverted "V" with paired rays emerging each side of the
peak)
[j] p.219 (right: "windmill" symbol -- probably related to Vithelan
Afterlife, cf. p.190)
PAMALTELA
[k] p.226 (circle above a horizontal line with some funny business going on
below)
Cheers, Nick
