Can you explain, in the README, where the name "hvad" comes from?

I sometimes look at the bill of material of my projects and have a hard time remembering what each package is for unless I can associate meaning with the name of the package.

The project first started as “django-nani”, created by Jonas Obrist. The word nani is the romanized form of “なに”, which means What?.

When Kristian Øllegaard took responsibility for updating and maintaining the project, including a major refactor of the internals, the project was renamed to hvad, which is the Danish word for What?.
