More Shikona stuff!

["Keri Sibley" <keris@frii.com>]

Hi all,

Hinerikeri here!  Just thought I'd try and get a little action going on the
list by providing a topic.  I must admit that I have an purpose behind this
post as well.  I'm trying to make a page on my web site that will help new
members (maybe old members too) in helping them chose a Shikona.  I would
like to use some of them as examples in the text for the web page.  So, what
I would like for everyone to do is to state what your shikona is and how you
came about picking the name.  I know of quite a few that could use some
explaining, possibly mine as well.  So, I'll start by explaining how mine
came to be.

I wanted to use my name in my shikona so I started looking through my sumo
books hoping to find a sumo term that would flow well with Keri.  Well, I
ran across hineri (twisting) and I knew that I had found the one.  But I
took it one step further and I actually tried to find out if Keri might mean
something in japanese.  I broke out the jisho (dictionary) found that keri
sounded similar to a word that means "through with" or "done with".  So
hinerikeri loosely translates to "done with twisting" or my interpretation
"done with going in circles".

There you have it!
