Entertainment Weekly Teases Us Once Again

We've still got three more weeks until Lost returns, but luckily Jeff Jensen's column over at EW.com - a must-read for fanatics - is already back. He taunts us with the knowledge that he just returned from the Hawaii set, and provides us with a one-word tease:

Dharka.

That's right. Not a typo.

Dharka.

Um, what? Well, according to "The Lost Experience," that viral Internet game that played out the summer after the second season, "Dharma" stands for - and you may or may not want to consider this a spoiler - "Department of Heuristics and Research on Material Applications." So let's say Dharka is another department or a rival Initiative. What would the "k" stand for - "Department of Heuristics and Research on, um, Killer Applications"? I'm really drawing a blank here.

It's like when you play Scrabble and you have the K, but can only think of C words. Any idea in the form of comments would be helpful.

Of course, beyond just figuring out the "k", this has some pretty heavy implications for the show. Was there really a group called Dharka, and were they working with Dharma? Or were they working against it? Were they ever on the island? Were they the Others? The freighter?

I like where it takes my imagination, but one word isn't much to go on, so I don't want to foolishly jump to conclusions - especially if Jensen just made up "Dharka" as a play on words to reference the "shark" in Season 2 that was stamped with the Dharma logo. But that would be mean.
