I thought I'd explore some word origins and found:

- Wiki/Wikiwiki => hawaiian for "quick" (the first Wiki was named after the "wiki wiki shuttle" - a shuttle bus service at the Hawaii Intl. airport: Wiki Wiki Web => "quick Web"

- The Hawaiian on-line dictionary http://wehewehe.org translates "gopher" into "Kopahela".

- The nature of a Wiki is that it's open and changeable: changeable => "Loliloli" ; open => "Weke; wekeweke" (open has many meanings - I picked "transitive")

Along these lines maybe something like:

Weke Weke Gopher Loliloli Gopher Weke Wiki Kopahela Wiki Kopahela ...?
