Hola Adam, I don't think so. I don't remember who gave it that name, (maybe
it was you) but it will just be an informal synonym that will not die but
simply fade away into the ever changing sands of the desert...The nice little
Oum Dreyga pebble I got from you and Greg is already updated from the informal
Amgala name, and I don't think the cottage label industry will be turning
out Amgala labels for it, most certainly any museum or scientist won't be
making any exception for the nomenclature - no doubt Amgala is reserved for the
next genuine fall there predicted in a decade or so:-). "Amgala" had a nice
ring to it, though, now we are back to Oum's and Ben's - it will blend right
in...I am starting to like the name. Does anyone know the meaning of the word
"Dreyga"? It reminds me of Draco, the Dragon...
Saludos, Doug
