kirkyan
n.— «A kirkyan is similar to a spime or blogject, but different in that a kirkyan is actually a Thing comprised of a combination of reality instances. One instance exists in our physical world (kirkyan P) and one or more “sibling” instances exist in their respective, independent virtual worlds (kirkyan V1′, V2′, V3′, aso). They are independent yet part of a whole.» —“The ‘Kirkyan’” by C. Sven Johnson reBang Weblog Mar. 19, 2006. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
