It is very helpful to have the list below. I have one other suggestion to add for consideration for those who wish to make a change in terms. Gyre can be found in Carol’s “Jabberwocky" and Yeats’ "The Second Coming". It has the advantage of being one syllable, not used for anything else, and begins with the same sound as gypsy. Rather capricious, if I do say so myself! My husband Bob Golder, thinks that this word is even better than gypsy, because the meaning of the word conveys the movement. </span><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Linda<br class=""></span><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><header class="main-header cts-disabled head-big oneClick-disabled" style="box-sizing: border-box;
