Meaning of Lyca
Hi guys
I'm writing an essay on William Blake and one of the characters in the poem is called Lyca (she's female). I'm guessing it might relate to 'lycanthrope' or similar words, but if you could help me out then thatwould be seriously useful at it might be useful to the character.
Thanks!

Lyca is an alternative of 'Laika', a russian word for "barker" as referring to a dog. Laika was the first animal to fly in space.
