Funk comes form the dwarfen word "Funke", wich means "spark" in common. (http://translate.google.de/?q=funke&...e&sa=N&tab=wT#)
In the Vale of Twilight thunderstorms are very common. When chipmunks hear the thunder they are sacred and try to get themselves to safety on the highest branches of the tallest trees. Unfortunately that is exactly where it is most likely that they get hit by the lightings. Chipmunk funk are the crispy remains of chipmunks that got fried by the magical lightings of the Vale. This is really a huge problem for the chipmunk population of the Vale and Chipmunk funk became rare and expansive. But today you can get chipmunk funk as a reward from Grandmaster Aaseamah Screven in Meridia. Because of the high demand the Twelve started breeding chipmunks and invented a magical device to make chipmunk funk with them.. well more out of them. You can clearly see the funke/spark that is involved in the process:
