====== Kto-To ======
===== Recruitment =====
I am a professor of Slavic Languages here at Arizona State, and was then too. I became interested in polyalphabetic
homographs...precursor, in a way, to the work leading to new other-language word-processing fonts, and etc. I wrote an
article on Russian-English Homographs and was looking for a place to publish it...in the course of this search of possible
places I came upon the Puzzlers League organ, and, being a fan of jumbles, anagrams, and etc. I joined...though in the end I
contributed little if anything, being simply too busy in those days.

[[Ajde]].
===== Nom =====
My nom "Kto-to" is the English transliteration of the Russian word, with the -to indefinitizer affix, meaning
"Someone," which appealed to me also for its duplicative "-to-to" sound and Slavic language connotations. I once
authored a kind of scientific hoax...and one of the early bogus names I had on it was "Nick Tony Znayet," a
transliteration of the Russian phrase "No one knows."
