1.X has its origin in Sundaram Clayton Limited, Moped Division, started in 1980. The factory was started in Hosur, Tamilnadu in southern India. The first product launched was a 50 cc moped, which appealed to the masses because of its capability to carry two people.In the same location, the same promotors started another company in 1984, in collaboration with Y, for the manufacture of 100 cc motorcycles under the brand name of Ind-Y Motorcycles. Even though the company started producing all kinds of two wheelers like mopeds, scooters and motorcycles, the collaboration with Suzuki continued for the motorcycles only. The collaboration with Y ended in 2001 and since then the name of the company changed to X.Identify X.


2.In Chinese, Y was originally a verb meaning to wait upon or accompany a person in the upper ranks of society, and this is also true of the original term in Japanese. In both countries the terms were nominalized to mean "those who serve in close attendance to the nobility," the pronunciation in Japanese changing to Y.By the end of the 12th century, became synonymous with 'bushi' almost entirely and the word was closely associated with the middle and upper echelons of the warrior class.

3. Z is a military rank and historical title for Hereditary Commanders of Armies in Japan. Z is the Japanese word for "general".

4.'B' was a prominent Native American leader of the Chiricahua 'A' who fought against Mexico and the U.S. and their expansion into 'A' tribal lands for several decades.t was the Mexicans who named him B . This appellation stemmed from a battle in which he repeatedly attacked Mexican soldiers with a knife, ignoring a deadly hail of bullets, in reference to the Mexicans' plea to Saint Jerome ("B"). The name stuck.In 1940, the night before their first mass jump, U.S. paratroopers at Fort Benning watched the 1939 film 'B' , in which the actor playing B yells his name as he leaps from a high cliff into a river, depicting a real-life escape B successfully attempted in which he jumped off Medicine Bluff at Fort Sill, Oklahoma into the Medicine Creek with his Cadillac horse. Private Aubrey Eberhardt announced he would shout the name when he jumped from the airplane to prove he was not scared. The trend has since caught on elsewhere, becoming widely associated with any sort of high jump in popular culture.Identify B and A.
A is in the connect, B is not.

A KEKULE!

'X' is a latin word meaning a)'right' as in right hand or b)'skillful'

'Y' is X's sister. Y is a meaningless word. In one episode Y took care of a turtle, thinking it was a bird.

Susan Astronomonov,(a boy) better known as 'Z', is X's arch rival and is in love with Y.

Koosalagoopagoop, also called Koosy or Koos, is a multi-coloured dinosaur-like creature that originates from Y's imagination. He can change his size at will, become invisible and the heart in his belly is a portal to his world.

Z and X have a 'W'

W is a word originating from another word.The other word means: a place for labor or work

Y enjoys destroying the 'W' belonging to X.
