Amarok

You know where I'm going with this, right?

Amarok is a giant wolf in Inuit mythology.

Smilla would be happy.

According to the FAQ, they got the name from a 1990 Mike Oldfield album, which the record company wanted him to call "Tubular Bells II". Where Oldfield got the title seems to be a matter of some debate.

(Hmm, I wonder if Smilla would enjoy Mike Oldfield music? Or maybe she'd prefer Sigur Rós.)

It would make sense that they pulled the name from Mike Oldfield. That still doesn't diminish my self-satisfaction of recognizing amarok as an Inuit word, and being right!

Smilla likes modern classical music, the kind with awful dissonance that makes you feel the end of society as we know it.

She might like throat singing, though.
