I'm not exactly IKEA's greatest fan, but what exactly makes it a "fount of
evil" and an "inferno"?

It occurs to me, BTW, that with a slight improvement of spelling _icea_ [itSa]
could be a nice Meghean word. Now, "evil" is already provided for (_magel_, in
honour of you know which conlang), so I guess it's gonna mean "good".

Also, how do Downundrians pronounce "IKEA"? Some monstrosity like [ajki:@], no
doubt? (Swedish [Ike:a])
