[nycbug-talk] TERRORISTS WIN!

[Josh McCormack]

There's a Lithuanian - English dictionary here: 
http://www26.brinkster.com/elg/dictionaries/zodframe.html
from words with similar roots, and a PC magazine in Lithuanian I found 
online with that word 
(http://www.kompiuterija.lt/tinkle/konkursai/seimas/200405/200405.shtml), 
I'd guess it has to do with safety.


"saugiklis  	 protector; (?autuvo) safety catch/lock/device; elektros 
saugiklis - safety fuse
  saugoti (saugoja, saugojo)vf 	 1. (laikyti) keep; saugoti paslapti; - 
keep a secret; 2. serge.ti - take care (of), preserve; (ginti) protect;
  saugotis (saugojasi, saugojosi)vf 	 take care of oneself; beware (of);
*saugokis! - take care!
  saugumas	 safety"
