It has been a while, but I think the way I used to remember it
is that I work at the University of Virginia. We have football
fans who will dress up in a tuxedo, paint half their face red
and the other half orange and get drunk beyond the threshold of
medical danger. These individuals call themselves "Wahoos".
So, when I see {wa'Hu'}, I think of "Wahoo", and I don't have
much trouble figuring out whether they should be associated with
tomorrow or yesterday. These guys are not the future.
Is that the reference you were remembering, pagh?
