Hi, Denis!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:

            "AKA" is an abbreviation for "also known as".  It's used in various
situations where the same person, place, or thing is often identified by two or
more different names.  In this case "strainer" and "sieve" are synonymous.  :-)
