GNOME
(GNOME) A project to build a complete,
user-friendly desktop based entirely on free software.
GNOME is part of the GNU project and part of the
OpenSource movement. The desktop will consist of small
utilities and larger applications which share a consistent
look and feel. GNOME uses GTK+ as the GUI toolkit for
applications.
GNOME is intended to run on any modern and functional
Unix-like system. The current version runs on Linux,
FreeBSD, IRIX and Solaris.

gnome
(devil) | GNOME, n. In North-European mythology, a dwarfish imp inhabiting the
interior parts of the earth and having special custody of mineral
treasures. Bjorsen, who died in 1765, says gnomes were common enough
in the southern parts of Sweden in his boyhood, and he frequently saw
them scampering on the hills in the evening twilight. Ludwig
Binkerhoof saw three as recently as 1792, in the Black Forest, and
Sneddeker avers that in 1803 they drove a party of miners out of a
Silesian mine. Basing our computations upon data supplied by these
statements, we find that the gnomes were probably extinct as early as
1764.

COGNOMEN
(bouvier) | COGNOMEN. A Latin word, which signifies a family name. The praenomen among
the Romans distinguished the person, the nomen, the gens, or all the kindred
descended from a remote common stock through males, while the cognomen
denoted the particular family. The agnomen was added on account of some
particular event, as a further distinction. Thus, in the designation Publius
Cornelius Scipio Africanus, Publius is the proenomen, Cornelius is the
nomen, Scipio the cognomen, and Africanus the agnomen. Vicat. These several
terms occur frequently in the Roman laws. See Cas. temp. Hardw. 286; 1 Tayl.
