Great!  More examples please!

   Monosodiumglutamate   = ?

I haven't got round to writing an equivelence table so that everone knows
what the old names were, although I will do it eventually. Meanwhile, you
only need to know the atomic number. The atomic number of sodium is 11 (E
in duodecimal notation), which makes it "aelfium".

There is a problem, I have just realised that -al is used in organic
chemistry to indicate aldehydes, so we can't say "*glutamalate", gotta work
on that one. I supose if -al is always final as a numerical suffix it'd be
OK, that's implied with mono- here anyway. (There's some irregularity here,
I think.)

I think it would most probably be:
Monoaelfium glutamate, or Monoaelfal glutamate. ?MAG for short.

If we use -al after glutamate, aelfal glutamatal ?AG for short.
