Nomenclatterrrr!!!

Yes,



but...

An introduction is a temptation: it can turn so easily into a self-justifying exercise...

- Shiva Naipaul, North of South ('Introduction')

Nomenclature

How apt that you should merely motion, saying nothing: for this land has not yet been given a name, certainly not a Latin one; it does not yet exist.

- André Brink, An Instant in the Wind

Favourite foreign onomatopoeia - 8

nyam-nyam - Fulbe, to eat (and later the name given to cannibal tribes)

[With thanks to Ibn Battuta.]
