It came from Greek _kuklos_ or _kyklos_ "circle". A very bad rendition of the same. Sounds like some sub-human caveman trying to talk all high-falootin' to me. The distinctive robes and tall pointed hat-masks, which are usually but not always white, show their cowardice. DaW. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
