OK, how about this one? Why is "Tiki" always capitalized? I can understand it if we use the word in the context of overall Tiki culture. Example: "Exotica is the music of Tiki."

If however we're just referring to a Polynesian-style carving, shouldn't it just be "tiki"? I'm not 100% sure about this though. In his books, Bigbro always capitalizes the word.
