In more odd-word news, I had cause on Tuesday to look up 'Nanook' in wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanook
In Inuit mythology, Nanook or Nanuq was the master of bears, meaning he decided if hunters had followed all applicable taboos and if they deserved success in hunting bears.
* Nanook or more properly Nanuq is also Inuktitut for "polar bear".
* Frank Zappa wrote a song called "Nanook Rubs It", a part of Don't Eat the Yellow Snow, first appearing on his 1974 album Apostrophe.
I can't decide if it's a polar bear reference or a Frank Zappa allusion.
