Did anyone know that in Sanskrit, "gunga" means "water"? Like the Ganges
River, which the locals call the Gunga. And "Gungan" means "of water" or
"underwater" in some dialects. I guess that's the logic for naming them that.
Just thought y'all would like to know.
I read in the Arts section of The Columbus Dispatch a few weeks ago and found
an article on Episode I. It said that Lucas's two year old son came up with the
name "Gungan"...

Whoa. Now THAT'S a coincidence. Either that, or Lucas' son is a prodigial Hindu
scribe, trained masterfully in the etymology of Sanskrit dialects. I, personally,
choose the latter.
