Little did I know, the words Lodi, Werpa, and Petmalu came from a conversation of father and daughter. These terms were written or spoken backwards. Lodi - idol Werpa - power Petmalu - malupit (fierce) My friend told me the story. One day Malu received a call from her father. Malu: lo di? (Short for hello daddy) Daddy: Malu, can you get the paperwork I signed yesterday. Malu: Wer pa? (Where papa?) Where are you going? Daddy: I am outside, I will buy something? Malu: What? Daddy: Pet Malu! Ah okay, so daddy is in the petshop. He is buying a pet. Maybe for Malu.

I think she said. It was her father's gift.
