Re: [meteorite-list] Invented words

"I propose we start simplifying "regmaglypts" to "remagyps" until it catches 
on."


Ha!  When was this "regmaglypt" misnomer invented, anyway, and by whom?  My 
theory: It was a translation mistake from Krinov's Russian, by the translator 
of his work, happening around 10 years after Sikhote-Alin.  Really doubt this 
word entered the meteorite glossary in any way not accidental.

I prefer eggyglyphs.  Anyone can relate to it, meaning, eggy-groves, making 
eggyglyphs the more scientifically descriptive word :-)  

Regmaglypted means something like "sculpted by fractures".  Definitely should 
be glyph instead of glypt IMO.  I suppose thumbprinted is just as crazy, 
reminds me of a criminal investigation. Thumbdinted would be far more 
scientifically accurate and sounds close enough not to rock the boat, while 
we're ablating our language! 

Best wishes
Doug

Unless we want to continue inventing more words that are related to 
meteoritics?  

I propose we start simplifying "regmaglypts" to "remagyps" until it catches on.

Also I propose that "Widmanstatten" now be shortened to "Widstatten" until it 
appears in a publication.

All those in favor say "yay", not "aye".   ;-)

Greetings,

I've had fun reading this discussion but a good one none the less. When 
I joined this list (shortly after it's creation) we had a discussion on 
fireballs and bolides. With all of the discussion, members couldn't 
agree on those terms of use. I then realized if we couldn't come to 
grips with what I thought a simple term, we were in trouble with the 
really complicated ideas.

Of course everyone knows that a bolide is a fireball that breaks apart ;-)

Best!!
