Most of us that are owned by ferrets know that the root of the word comes
from the late Latin word for robber furo, and from from the ancient Latin
for thief, fur.  However, did you know that from that root comes the trunk
of our "ferret tree", fuiron.  Furion is old French for robber or thief.
From that trunk comes the branch fuiret, the diminutive of fuiron; little
robber or small thief, what have you.
 
Just thought fuiret might make a good name.  Gilligan and Skipper thought
so and it goes without saying that Jean Paul loves the name.
