  I don't know about command of the language, but it was fun finding that name. It was a nice fit for a record-setting F1D - obscure, with two appropriate meanings:

  ei·do·lon&#8194;[ahy-doh-luhn]
  -noun
  1. a phantom; apparition.
  2. an ideal.

  I like the name I found for my hour record model, too:

  Safat - A mythical bird that never lands

  There's a part about egg shells that cause insanity if eaten, which vaguely reminds me of my mental state after dealing with 46" of broken spars and bracing wire for a weekend.
