In case anybody still cares, I think the point of this is that
the _usage_ of "kethna" is like that of "chicken" (or "lamb"):
it means both the animal and its meat.  However, the _meaning_
of kethna is something very like a pig.  Steve has responded
approvingly to a joke about it not being kosher.  (I'm still
waiting for "kethna wings", though.)
