Why is the Earth element's large collectible's name always changed? Take a look at this:

Water:
Toa: Gali
Bohrok: Gahlok
Rahkshi: Gurahk

Fire:

Toa: Tahu
Bohrok: Tahnok
Rahkshi: Turahk

Air:

Toa: Lewa
Bohrok: Lehvak
Rahkshi: Lerahk

Stone:

Toa: Pohatu
Bohrok: Pahrak
Rahkshi: Panrahk

Ice:

Toa: Kopaka
Bohrok: Kohrak
Rahkshi: Kurahk (sp?)

Earth:

Toa:Onua
Bohrok:Nuhvok
Rahkshi:Vorhak

All the others stay the same or similar; yet Earth's changes entirely. Why is this?
HauNuva
All the other names have consonants first, then vowels. Onua's doesn't. Does 'Onuhvok' sound very good?
Kahu Rider 13
Maybe not, but 'Onvhok' would sound a bit better. But the Rahkshi could at least be called Nurahk, as that sounds good.
Potanu
Well, not entirely changed. Onua is the root. Nu and Onu are the pre-fixes. Both are similar, both come from the root word. But Vorahk, as you said, is weird. But it sounds better than Nurahk, or Onurahk. Maybe there's a future storyline explanation?

BTW, it's Guurahk, not Gurahk.

I always though of it as strange, but when it comes down to it I'm happy that they change the name a little. There is always so many similarities between names that this adds a little variety.

so you can tell what color they are by their names........

I don't know why Lego did that. Maybe they did it because every time they found a name that they liked better.
