Which in Australia means a child, usually the youngest.

#5 What's in a name?

Well, Kim Jong-il was clearly ill. So just to be optimistic, rather than pessimistic, perhaps Kim Jong-un will be the "un" Kin Jong.

"When used with adjectives, un- often has a sense distinct from that of non-. Non- picks out the set of things that are not in the category denoted by the stem to which it is attached, whereas un- picks out properties unlike those of the typical examples of the category. Thus nonmilitary personnel are those who are not members of the military, whereas someone who is unmilitary is unlike a typical soldier in dress, habits, or attitudes."
