+
+*A frequently asked question: "what does hau mean?" To avoid repeating
+ myself, I will explain it here.*
+
+"Hau" is what dogs "say" in Finnish (they also "say" some other things such
+as "vuh").
+
+At first I just greeted [Tessu] and family members by saying "hau" and then
+it widened to IRC & elsewhere.
+
+[Tessu]:https://mikaela.info/r/tessu
+
+It cannot be any worse greeting than "hai" (below) which some people use.
