  15. Should obviously be "xerokes" (three syllables).  Let's not Latinize Greek 
  16. roots.

  19.  
  20. Unclear.  Latin and Greek both use x to represent the segment sequence "cs" or
  21. "ks".  I'm not sure what to consider EMACS.  How about the neuter plural
  22. "EMACIA"?   Grammatically bad because -x words are rarely neuter, but I like
  23. the idea.

  25. >     One UNIX machine, two UNICES.
  26.  
  27. Clearly Greek, at least to me, and so UNIKES, pronounced with three syllables
  28. and should not be interpreted to mean "Good Victory."
