Going that road would make Polyaris a sort of Holy Ghost stand-in,\nwhich I think its a bit much (but maybe not, in this already too simplistic\nstory). Then there is \"arris,\" of which the single r version is a variant;\nit is the sharp edge formed by the contact of two plane or curved surfaces,\ni.e. the edges of a prism. In that case, Polyaris is simply a witty name\nfor a glossy multicolored parrot. (Poly as in \"wants a cracker.\")\n\n\"Kul\" in Greek is the Latin \"cyl\" as in cylinder, and it means (or derives\nfrom) \"to roll.\" I can't make much of that, myself.\n\nIt's hard for me to take this story seriously when I keep humming the title\nto \"California Dreamin'!\"\n\n-alga-"
