Italian words

Devices require names and as a rule I use Italian words. I do not speak Italian, so its main advantage is Latin alphabet without diacritic marks. In case of several devices of the same type Roman numerals are added.

And my laptops are named Meurglys I, Meurglys II, Meurglys III after the guitars of Peter Hammill, by-turn borrowing the name of Ganelon’s sword from «The Song of Roland».
