	When I was in the navy and stationed in Japan I learned
	a little of the language.  As I recall, "hikaru" means
	something like light ray, an interesting touch when they
	were coming up with names I think.

	Are there any Japanese language mavens out there to correct
	me or amplify on the meaning?
