The name of the system is "GNAT" not *the* GNAT. There seems
to be no uniform rule in English about whether the is needed,
DARPA
the DOD
UNO
the UN
and many other examples of arbitrary rules as to whether the
is allowed can be found. Since the rules are arbitrary, we
get to decide, and there is no *the*!
The pronounciation incidentally sounds the G, but quickly
in passing, in the same way that most people pronounce
Gnostic. It is not "NAT" and it is not "GEE-NAT".
