Have you noticed what it said on the one Minish's shirt, it says "Umi Qlo"...What does Umi Qlo mean anyway? I Googled it but I just got a bunch of chicken scratch. (http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u161/Miss_Hayls/FunkyMinish-1.jpg)
If I told you that, I'd have to erase your memory, send you to Vietnam, and shave off all of your hair.
I'm thinking maybe it's an abbreviation for something... maybe a Japanese phrase. Or, for that matter, a Minish phrase.
Umi means water. Qlo means Qlo.
It's obviously Waterqlo, fool.
Japanese.
Or ocean, or sea, or something like that.
Hmm. Interesting.

I know this is off the subject, but I have to point out that I found that incredibly amusing. But back on the subject, I didn't know that Umi meant "water." Perhaps that's a clue...
Minish is inverted Japanese; in other words, gibberish.
For example, the symbols for "Gufuu" are Gu and Fuu. So in Minish, it would be FuuGu.
Oh, and keep in mind the manga-ka is Japanese, so they probably don't know English all that well. Thus, they most likely just write the only English letters they knew, so...
Then again, Japan loves the English alphabet, so...
Really? I think our alphabet is boring, on the other hand, I'm not Japanese. ;)
