Quote:Any more help on the real meaning of Fodio would also be helpful

You've selected a verb, Jack. Fodio means "I dig" (as in digging a ditch) -- the infinitive, "to dig", is fodere. From that basic meaning, it also comes to mean prodding or goading, which is maybe why you thought it was linked with stinging. :?
