Re: [eclipse.org-planning-council] Notes from "First Wednesday" meeting: March 4, 12:00 Noon Eastern

Regarding the comment during the meeting that legally acceptable release names have to either be very common or very obscure, I found a list of obscure words beginning with "n" here:
http://phrontistery.info/n.html

From that list, for what it's worth, here are some words that I thought had potential, either because of the meaning or the sound of the word itself:

naos  --  temple; inner cell of a temple
navette  --  pointed oval shape; jewel cut in this shape
nembutsu  -- Buddhist invocation chanted to achieve enlightenment
neper  --  unit for expressing the ratio of two currents or voltages
nexal  --  of or pertaining to a nexus
niello  --  ornamenting metal by placing black compound in engravings
nimonic  --  of alloys used in high temperature work
noosphere   --  sum of human intellectual activities
notandum    --  something to be especially noted or observed
notarikon  -- making words from letters taken from throughout a sentence
numen  --  presiding deity
nuncius  --  messenger
nyala  --  large South American antelope
nychthemeron  -- a full night and day; 24 hours  (I'm just amused at the thought of people trying to work out how to pronounce this one :-)

Regards,
Brian

Initial agenda:

Discussing the name of Mars + 1 (plus future "change of type of naming") would be a good reason to attend!

Thanks,
