  Another idea, built on use of pan-stems with Pan- prefixes, and crowns
with Corono- prefixes, just to describe how if any clade type should have
a prefix for identification purposes, they ALL should:

  Pan-stem clade names shall include a contained clade name with Pan-
preceeding them.

  Crown clade names shall include a contained clade name with Corono-
preceeding them.

  Stem clade names shall include a contained clade name with Clado- or
Stirpso- preceeding them.

  Node clade names shall include a contained clade name with Ramoso-
preceeding them.

  Stem-modified nodes with be a combination of stem and node prefixes,
thus clade names shall include a contained clade name with Cladoramoso-
preceeding them.

  Apomorphy-based clade names shall include a contained clade name with
Morpho- preceeding them.

  Lineage-segment clade names shall include a contained clade name with
Genu- preceeding them.

  Now, let's have some fun. If you want to name a clade and have it
require an easy mnemonic form of a name, use the system logically and
apply it to all forms of clade names for utility. I think this is the
start of a new rash of possibilities.

  Cheers,
