    My father said it was a tool, maybe a type of drill? I can't remember, 
unfortunately.

The Oxford English Dictionary gives both pronunciations for "gimbal" with the 
"soft" g first:  
/ˈdʒɪmbəl/ /ˈɡɪmbəl/
I followed their etymology trail, and it seems to ultimately come from a word 
meaning "twin."

Thanks, Delia, for somehow understanding what I meant despite the spate of 
autocorrects and typos.  

It is pronounced with a hard "g" as in gill, just to be clear.

I agree that a playful name would be a wonderful way to go for this very 
playful move. I like Gimbal for that reason. Just checking, it’s pronounced 
“gym-bal” right?

There was one other playful suggestion sometime in the past couple of weeks, in 
addition to gyre, but try as I might, I just can’t find it in the rich flow of 
email on this topic, so if someone wants to re-nominate it, with the goal of a 
rememberable and playful name in mind, please do. I know that indicates it’s 
not passing the rememberability test for me at the moment but, to be fair, I 
was just skimming on a work night when it flew by.

What I feel
Is missing from these expressions is twofold.  One is memorability.  We 
remember things better to which we attach emotions of some kind.  A name people 
giggle or oo ah about is going to stick and be pleasurable each time they hear 
it.  I love the name Mad Robin, as an example of a distinctive and whimsical 
name for a dance move, which could as easily be called a sideways do si do.  
The second is the sense of playful interaction that gypsy has always 
engendered.  I don't want to restart the discussion of why that is, but I do 
want to keep that in the move, along with eye contact, rather than go to a dry 
workmanlike term.  So nice of to have to invite play, but perhaps only need to 
mention that you look at your P, N, Sh, as you (new name) around them by the 
(R/L Sh).  I think that was the appeal to me of the word Gimbal, which somehow 
revoked both rotation and play all in one. I hope I'm not alone in this desire, 
though I know we are often of very diverse opinions as a group.
Cheers,
Andrea
