Action and reaction.

Most of us are familiar with the concept of Action and Reaction in the physical sense. Say, the action of the addition of weight on one end of a seesaw will cause the reaction of the rise of the end on the other side of the fulcrum. In addition, though, actions and reactions occur mentally, as you will soon see in the following example.

The action in this example would be the change in the focus of my attention as my eyes fall upon the name "kikimm", which is surely thought to be no more than a random conglomeration of letters at first glance, but the further inspection I will conduct and detail shortly will be labeled as this example's reaction, for it is indeed a natural reaction to be curious about that which we do not understand.

Per my interpretation, the combination of letters in "kikimm" can be picked apart and read any number of ways. The ways which make the most sense are as follows:

Kikimm - phonetically, "KeeKee Uhm"
Kikimm - phonetically, "Keekee Em Em"
Kik'im - phonetically, "Kick 'im" (like an excited southerner would say during a bar fight)
kikim'm - phonetically, "Kick 'im. M" (like the previous, only with a standalone "M" at the end)
Keek'eem - phonetically, "Keek eem" or "Keek heem".

I have my favorite, but it's more likely than either of the above candidates, "kikimm" was chosen at whim without the intent of ever having to be spoken.

Let it be known, though, that if I had payed better attention to a thread wherein an explanation of the name "kikimm" was already explained, there would have been no need for this extensive study. My bad.

That's interesting. Please, tell me more. :)

Sepho posted a nice usernote about that sort of a thing once.
