Name, Weight and Length
Her name is Dina Tolkin Cressman, 3.1 kg, 51 cm length. Dina (DEE-na) is the name of a famous composer of traditional Kazakh folk mucic. Tolkin (tol-KHUN) is a Kazakh word meaning Ocean Wave. The western pronounciation is "TOLL-kin". Yeah, I know, it sounds an awful lot like the author of those Frodo Baggins books. I can't deny that Zhanar and I are fans, but we'll never admit the connection.
