| Discovery Notes | Found on a dead/dying flower from a flower patch. |
| Naming Notes | I made use of a Facebook group with my closest friends in it.
The proposed name I have come up with has been formulated like this:
Taking the first letters of the names of everyone in the group, and noting the corresponding place in the English alphabet:
A = 1
A = 1
B = 2
E = 5
E = 5
I = 9
M = 13
S = 19
T = 20
Let us take the average of all these numbers: 8.3 repeating. We'll say its 8.
So, looking at the Phoenician alphabet, the 8th letter is 'het' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heth). |
