Unless it's Ada standard terms, like "progenitor" or "statically 
unevaluated" (and probably "elaboration" and "instantiation", although I 
wasn't around for those). Those literally appeared in someone's head when 
creating the associated wording. (Although there were other false starts.) 
Probably the exception that proves the rule.
