Maybe it's the aftermath of the Tunguska explosion? LOL

Khatru is the place where Dr. Seuss went to bring back an itkutch, a preep, a proo, a nerkle, a nerd and a seersucker too.
 
Apparently it's in Siberia.  No word on whether any of the aforementioned beasties go through the motions.

That... actually makes a lot of sense, kinda like the title of that movie Reservoir Dogs. Now, if only we could find out what the hell a relayer is. LOL

Khatru (v.) - a command roughly meaning to get Epignosis a cold beer.

I see now that there are quite some internet sites where this question has been tackled.
I get the impression that the Yemenite theory is not very heavily supported by evidence material.
Still, it would probably be the only time in Yes where Anderson made a word up, isn't it?
I hope you can all get a good night's sleep without knowing for sure what a Khatru is.
Some Yes fans had their imagination running wild at the word: http://www.yesfans.com/archive/index.php/t-1930.html .

Khatru is probably a magical horse from outer space.

Apart from being a really great Yes song can someone actually tell me what is a Siberian Khatru?

1. I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you.
2. Khatru is a real word, Siberian is made up.
3. If you went through the motions, you might understand.

I think the more important question is why do you need to hold down the window? Tongue
Khatru is made up, Siberian is somebody/something that was originally from Siberia.
