Think for example of taxonomic binomials, which are big-endian genus–species pairings of names. In contrast, John Wayne would be a little-endian binomial. I dunno, I might try going for the at-first-glance-contradictory monosyllabic binomials myself. | |

And that's about as much as I can say to justify either of us! | |
