ArchivesRe: Mowgli
in reply to a message by CherryFrog
On this site I found
http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/1999/03/cov_23feature2.html
The hero of "The Jungle Book" is the wild boy Mowgli (meaning "Frog"), "as soft and as dimpled a little thing as ever came to a wolf's cave at night."
And on this one
http://www.geocities.com/cubs_1stmtwav/resource.htm
Mowgli - Little Frog
but though I have heard somewhere else not, sure where, that the name means frog / little frog, I cant find if it is a made up name ie the wolf word for frog, or if it actually has some real language origin
