Apparently 'Mori' means 'Forest' in Japanese. 'Forest' was the working title based on the double metaphor of an outline as a tree structure and of ideas growing organically out of your notes, or something like that.

Fasinating. I had the same reaction as the first respondent. I assumed the name was chosen as a segment of the phrase "memento mori." Chalk up another confusion to linguistic differences to sit on the shelf next to the Chevy Nova and "Joanie Loves Chachi."

Mori also means "head" in Korean. I thought that was rather apropos^^

You are all wrong ;-) Mori is Ivrit (Hebrew) for "My Teacher" ! Not so bad for this "thought" organizer.

Wrong again. Best case would be, "you're all right" >: D
However, why should a "teacher" be an apt name for a notebook application *wondering*

Re: Mori is Latin for "to die". : (

... which happens to be an ironically appropriate meaning for what it's forcing Hog Bay Notebook to do. ;-)

Wonderful etymological thread! Intriguing to contemplate the possible (albeit unlikely) common etymological root of these (possible) derivatives: what ur-word could underlie "die" (although this may be a slanting reference to the feeling of humility, or whatever, implied in "memento mori"), "forest", "teacher" and computer program to organize thought? Perhaps moar (bastard Sanskrit) = swamp as well as reliquary, where all thoughts end and all begin ... ;-)

I guess it should have been named "Memento," if anything, as in "memento mori," loosely translated as "Remember that you must die." Perhaps the developer guessed that 'mori' was the part that meant 'remember?'

Oh, sorry about the multiple post. It's VersionTracker's fault, not mine. Honestly. Well, not altogether, anyway.
