Archenor
Archenor or Acheinor (Ancient Greek: Ἀρχεήνωρ) was in Greek mythology one of the Niobids,[1] and perhaps the same who is called by Ovid "Alphenor".[2]
The names of the Niobids, however, differ very much in the different lists.
In commercial telegraph code, the word "Archenor" was used to signify "You must number your invoices".[3]

gollark: You did? MUAHAHAHAHA.
gollark: Honestly, the negative point for wrong guesses rule sort of ruins the strategy of actually guessing ever?
gollark: The trouble is that while I can approximately guess who they *appear to be from*, people are obviously trying to fake that and I can't really process the weird social stuff well enough to get any accurate answers out.
gollark: Or a quintuple bluff.
