{vIghro'} v'gro (type of animal, like a cat) KGT [JOKE: the name of the cat
in Disney's "Pinnochio" was named Figaro]

BTW, Felis, are you certain your name isn't a variation of Felix, derived
from Latin *felix* "lucky, fortunate", which the Romans used as a personal
name and also in the old name for Yemen, Arabia Felix. If so, you might
want to consider *{Do'wI'} "Lucky", derived from the verb {Do'} "be
fortunate, be lucky" plus the verb suffix {-wI'} "one who is, one who does,
thing which does".
