Given the euroclonic appearance of the thing, it seems hard to escape the
suspicion that -s marks plural, and that the name means "Venedino sans
inflection, articles and diacritics". I didn't mean mean "rich" in as
in "rich" inflection, but as in "over the top" - having a name that utilizes
the very things the very name proclaims the thing not to have.
