No worries. That portion of memory only contained the 'oya' portion of it's name. It will continue on, known now as Vger.
Like most of you, my brain ingests random things and chews on them to produce weird nonsensical things, like when I go to the Midwestern US supercenter chain Meijer, I say if it somehow went into deep space, went through a black hole, and returned two hundred years later, it would be known as M'jer.
I think of this every time I'm there.
