Hi, all! I'm rejoining the list briefly to point out that the name Hari Mau in the Short Sun books may come from "harimau", the Malay word for "tiger". See http://eyesontheforest.or.id/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=5 or <http://tinyurl.com/aksr58>. Maybe interesting that it's an animal name, like male names in Viron, and that the tiger was so important to Borges. Jerry Friedman
