Zorun - now, this one is my mistake. I introduced the character before I knew what his original (i.e. manga) name was. I've since discovered it was Corn (or Corniss). I volunteered to change it to Corun throughout the Chronicles, but Lutra was not at all keen on that idea - she likes Zorun - so, since I really would rather keep my tail, I've left it as is. I haven't been able to find an edible meaning for Zorun (or any derivatives thereof) in any language (yet). If I ever do, I'll post it here!
June 1st 2003 - finally found it: Zrno, Czech for Corn... (*sigh* well it would be, wouldn't it?)
Zyelenyi - Russian, Greens.
And while I'm at it - Zaabon is Japanese for Pomelo, big greenish-yellow citrus fruit that looks a bit like a pregnant grapefruit. Just thought you'd like to know....
