how about another? I've been curious about the origin of the word
"Coruscant" (as in the planet from Star Wars), which is said to come
from the Latin word "coruscans", meaning "sparkling, glittering,
flashing, etc." But where does _that_ come from? Any hypotheses at
all?

Well, I can't read Italian :( Could anyone who can give me a
translation of that?
It looks interesting...
