So I was wrong about those domain names being taken, unless there were previous lessors not shown on the history. But note that I used the dots (...) to indicate these as variables just so noone would get any ideas about specific particular domains.
Still the point about the words semantics remains valid, though I understand if we renamed the site - choosing to view ourselves under a different concept than "quick[ness]" - then the only major popular usage of a Hawaiian word in a formalistic educational context might vanish from the Earfh: The philosopher/semanticist in me still wants a change, even if the etymologist in me likes the idea that we use something other than Greek or Latin.
