| Naming Notes | Why Tiny?
Four letters (in Latin alphabet), two syllables, easy to dictate, hard to mis-spell or render unrecognizable. After years of having to dictate my name, that was a non-negotiable constraint.
Tiny is also the name of a 350-ton monster from the famous role playing game, DOTA 2. Although the character is called Tiny, it is anything but tiny. |

| Plaque Notes | The plaques formed by Tiny were small so it is likely that it adsorbs late.
Also all plaques were clear, suggesting that the host is completely susceptible to Tiny.
Finally, the plaques were uniformly circular and small. |
