Luis (letter)
Luis (ᚂ) is the second letter of the Ogham alphabet, derived either from luise "flame" or from lus "herb". Its Proto-Indo-European root was either *leuk- 'to shine' or *leudh- 'to grow'. Its phonetic value is [l].
The Auraicept na n-Éces glosses the name as cairtheand "mountain-ash", i.e. "rowan" (Modern Irish caorthann). The associated verse is : Li sula "lustre of eye" The Auraincept interprets this as "delightful to the eye is luis, i.e. rowan, owing to the beauty of its berries".
Bríatharogam
In the medieval kennings, called Bríatharogam or Word Ogham the verses associated with Luis are:
lí súla - "lustre of the eye" in the Word Ogham of Morann mic Moín
carae cethrae - "friend of cattle" in the Word Ogham of Mac ind Óc
lúth cethrae - "sustenance of cattle" in the Word Ogham of Culainn.
References
The kennings point to an association of this letter name with either luise/loise 'flame, blaze' or lus 'plant, herb'. The word itself is not reliably attested in a context which would indicate its precise primary meaning but it is clearly related either to the root *leuk- 'to shine' or *leudh- 'to grow', either confirming /l/ as the value.

List of Black Lagoon characters
The following is a list of characters from the Japanese manga and anime Black Lagoon.
The Lagoon Company
The Lagoon Company is a mercenary/pirate group that is the main focus of the series. The Lagoon Company is for-hire service that is hired by various criminal organizations to do different jobs like locating and retrieving items and/or smuggling them.
Rokuro "Rock" Okajima
Voiced by: Daisuke Namikawa (Japanese), Brad Swaile (English)
Rokuro Okajima (岡島緑郎, Okajima Rokurō), also known as Rock (ロック, Rokku), is the male protagonist of the series. He was a Japanese salaryman for Asahi Industries in Tokyo until he was taken hostage by the crew of the Black Lagoon during their raid on the ship he was on. He joined the Lagoon Company after his department chief Kageyama abandoned him (Kageyama declared him dead) in an attempt to cover up the smuggling operation in which Rock had been an unwitting participant. Rock is a humble and mild-mannered person despite being on the business end of guns from friend and foe alike, and often seems surprised at the barbarity of the Southeast Asian crime world. He still wears his tie, short-sleeved dress shirt, and dress pants because although now a pirate, he still retains his business persona. He prefers to use words over weapons when interacting with others. Rock, after joining the Lagoon company, has wondered if he is experiencing Stockholm syndrome.
Rico (Scottish singer)
Rico Capuano, better known simply as Rico is a musician from Glasgow, Scotland.
Biography
Rico Capuano was the singer with the band Perfect World in the mid-1990s. Record company interest did not translate into a record deal, and he later went solo, recordings as simply Rico.
His debut album Sanctuary Medicines was released by EMI/Chrysalis in 1999, and was described by the Glasgow Evening Times as "as black as it was intense". He supported Gary Numan on his UK tour in 2003, and had a hit with Numan in 2003 with "Crazier", which reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart. Second album Violent Silences was released in 2004, and featured collaborations with Numan and Tricky.
All science silent on the Rico front in recent years, with an update on Rico's website (page no longer there) stating that he would not be producing another album, and was instead working on producing for other artists, through his label Manufractured and his recording studio The Dog House. He recently produced the last project of the band LUNG; a French and British duo with singer guitarist Chris Loung and drummer programmer Ric Chandler. their album, LUNG, has been released in February 2013 on the American label octopus wreckords. The last update on Rico's MySpace page was in the New Year of 2006, and the artist's home site is just a page linking to his (apparently abandoned) MySpace page.
