'Sea wolf' is what my wife has always been told her name means in
Chamorro / Guamanian (by her Chamorro relatives).  I've long wondered what
a sea wolf is, though I've heard the phrase in Portuguese songs for
years.  (And Spanish is closely related, and the Spanish ruled Guam for
centuries.)  So now I know it's all about seals.  I don't think my wife
would enjoy being called ulXayu7 or sawash kushu, though.  :-)
