[Sca-cooks] OT: Urtatim, was Cinnamon question

[Huette von Ahrens]

Is there a meaning to this name?  Like "desert
flower"?  And may I call you 'Tim for short?
Because 'Tati reminds me of potatoes, which
you are not, and Urta sounds like a tent.

Huette 
[You can call me Hu' and you can call me 'Etta,
but you just can't call me "Slim".]
