Creation and Usage Notes
| In Emerald City, Dorothy winds up with a dog; she doesn't actually have a dog beforehand. Consequently,t he dog has no name. In the script, the Munja'kin refer to the dog as "Toto" because their word for "dog" actually is toto. I thought that was kind of clever. The fact that it was a reduplication (plus the one other extant word, simoa) inspired me to make Munja'kin Kamakawi 2, in effect. (Oh, I guess Munja'kin was also present as a word. Was less thrilled about that, but I made it work.) |
