ukk, ukka. ukko, ukku

With wind chills around 0 F. all day, this was not
an outdoorsy (much less Springy) Saturday, here
in Schenectady, New York, USA. I found myself
online, at One Look Dictionary, checking to see if
"ukku" might actually be a word. While it has not
yet made One Look or its hundreds of searched
reference works, there are a number of "ukk"
listings that I found to be interesting and/or ironic:

UKK - this acronym is the Finnish analog of FAQ:
Usein Kysytyt Kysymykset is Finnish for Frequently
Asked Questions.

UKKA - is the acronym for the United Kenpo Karate Asso-
ciation (USA)

Ukko - is the most significant god in Finnish mythology,
and is the god of sky, weather, crops (harvest) and other
natural things. The Finnish word ukkonen means thunder-
storm, is derived from his name "ukko" in contemporary
Finnish means "old man."
