Again a little remark to all the list members who like so much -
and not so much - the anagrams and alike. The name "Ada" itself
(and surely, there is a distraction) has such hellish connotations
in Russian (after all, Ad means Hell) that it provoked many
jokes. I remember from soviet times a joke about the programming
language "ADA" that
was invented (the joke said) as a hellish opposite to the
Gorbatchev's wife Raya (diminutif of Raissa) - Rai in Russian meaning
"paradise".
Best to all -
