Synthom seems hard to pronounce too though (is it an "um" or "ome"
ending?) Maybe Synthome? Or Synth-om (as in the Hindu sound of creation
oooommm). Or maybe Synthomae (perhaps use the e with the / accent mark
over it, not sure how to type that on a US keyboard though). I don't
really like the "um" ending, kind of ends flat. Anyways.. My couple o
cents, whatever thats worth :)
