        I knew it was one of you guys. However, I emit loud snorts at the idea of "Vorumaini" and "Vorumainen".

	Vorumai (noun) the people of Vormain
	Vorumai (adjective) having to do with Vormain
	Vorumaize -- either a type of corn or the process of  
becomin Vorumai-esque.
	Vorumainen -- an important character from the Kalevala.
	Vorumaini -- tekel upharsin
