There is another problem too. One should get permission from the people
whose language it is. And sometimes they refuse. There is a recent
precedent in  the case for a name for a new frog where the people claimed
intellectual property. Still, this shouldn't deter the endeavour. In think
Ken Rogers should do it and he gets my vote.
