I did not point out it's resemblance to a Jecklin disk out of any 
expectations you would make it into that. More like a similar design you 
might be able to cull some ideas from.

It's best, where a specific design criteria is associated with a name to 
not call anything else that. Call it modified, similar to or whatever.

In your case I'm comfortable with it being "near coincident spaced 
omni's with a barrier".
