OK, I know it's been answered, but here is a little more informationl, from
the archives at www.jmdl.com:

"Joni's company was called Siquomb Publishing, and the name came from one of
her many writing projects. As she would explain on Philadelphia radio
station WMMR in March 1967, she was writing a mythology, the names of its
various members derived from acronyms based on descriptive phrases. There
were, for instance, a race of miniature women, the Posall ("Perhaps Our
Souls Are Little Ladies"), and men, the Mosalm ("Maybe Our Souls Are Little
Men"). Siquomb was the queen of the mythology, her name meaning, "She Is
Queen Undisputedly Of Mind Beauty." "

and

"The word games carried over into "Sisotowbell Lane," a song on her first
album whose title stands for the hopeful maxim "Somehow In Spite Of Trouble
Ours Will Be Everlasting Love." "

Hope that helps!
