You're welcome, AnnaStrophic. I should remind everybody that my views of Sanskrit are my own and strained through a filter of western secular humanism and linguistics.

Wow!!!  There are a lot more names then I could have ever dreamed of. I originally was going to post a reply to each and every person who posted, but with the sheer volume of responses, I felt that I should just do a blanket reply...(but to be honest I am not sure how to do that, so I am doing it this way.) Anyway, thank you everyone for letting me know that there is such a wide variety of names, and India! Oh-my, that is a lot of names. I am really learning a lot. Thank you all. Rev. Alimae

Why 'wannabe?'
From what I remember reading many years ago, she was probably convicted more as a result of her attempts to build up her image as a woman of mystery who knew everyone and everything on both sides than because of anything she'd actually done.

Kinda sounds as if you should have signed the Kyoto Accord on atmospheric emissions in your own right, jheem!

In Hawaiian the name for sun is la - with a dash over the a to make it long.
The mountain on Maui is Haleakala
Hale - house; a ka - of the; la - sun
House of the Sun - Haleakala.

>House of the Sun - Haleakala.
Thanks, wow. Haleakala fits the rule I already knew for replacing "l" with "r" to get the Maaori equivalent of a Hawaiian word. The word for house in Maaori is whare. "Wh" is pronounced either as "ph" or as "w", depending on which regional Maaori is being used, and it would be interesting to see if "h" ih Hawaiian equals "wh" in Maaori with the same sort of consistency that "l" equals "r". An interesting coincidence is that in the Far North, the area closest to both Hawaii and Hawaiiki, "wh" is pronounced simply as "h".
