Note To Self 19: Kname

I saw the codename for the new KDE beta and this is the only way I could think of as to how they could possibly have arrived at such a word.

Well, at least it’s not a recursive acronym.

PS. I originally said “recursive anagram” until a correction was brought to my attention by TalentedChimp. Thanks.

    “Well, at least it’s not a recursive anagram.” - Nor is it a recursive ACRONYM, like Wine and GNU.

    Did you ever think that it might be a nod to Prof. Don Knuth, and as a joke, the switched the “K” to a “C”?
