June 19, 200619 yr Time for a n00b question. Since my venture into the wonders of Gen1 ownership, I'm seeing a word that I believe to be spelled "Xivil" all over the place. It's on my starter on my 79, it's on some of the parts I've seen, I've even seen it in an FF1 ad. What is Xivil? Is that one of the Fuji companies? Or something else?

June 20, 200619 yr i belive that may be a jap word. If it is, it's a pretty rough translation to our alphabet; Japanese doesn't have an x or a v sound, both are very difficult for them to pronounce.
June 20, 200619 yr Roman numerals - eleven, six, fifty ... or - ten, four, forty-nine ... It could also be a very simplified representation of some Kanji or Katakana character set. WTH knows, sometimes Japanese logographics can be VERY obscure to the western mind.
