I have been told that there is a cool secondary interpretation of Mahout as
well.

I think that the Hebrew word is pronounced roughly like Mahout.

מַהוּת

The cool thing is that this word means "essence" or possibly "truth". So
regardless of the guy riding the elephant, Mahout still has something to be
said for it.

(I have no Hebrew, btw)
