No big deal--but it really looks like what's being given above--with "J"
for Eta-- is pasted in from a biblical search program. I find it rather

although we don't prescribe what to use, there are some suggested schemes
in the FAQ that's distributed to new members and that is available at the
list's regular Metalab web archive site.
