Just a thought, which nobody could answer so far:
I have always wondered if this is a simple animal name, i.e. a 
"bo-krat", or if this is some kind of a "rat", hence a "bok-rat". I 
guess nobody can answer this, except for the author of the script who 
made this up. :-(

It doens't matter anyway, unless you try to translate this into a 
different language than english.
