Muin
Muin is the Irish name of the eleventh letter of the Ogham alphabet, ᚋ. The bríatharogaim kennings reflect the fact the Old Irish muin has three homonyms meaning "neck, upper part of the back", "wile, ruse, trick", and "love, esteem". Which of these gave the letter its name is not know for certain, but is thought to be "neck". This is related to the archaic Welsh mwn ("neck") and Latin monile. Its phonetic value is [m].[1]

gollark: Well, it lacks lots of important features I like: revision history, formatting support at all, crosslinks, usable from a web browser, image/video embedding.
gollark: Look, if I just want "easy" and don't care about features or usability or whatever, I technically *can* manage my notes in a folder of plaintext files or something, it would just be bad.
gollark: ····
gollark: Anyway, upsides of client-rendering:- UI can be faster and more responsive, and allow stuff like "live" search that updates as you type and instant preview of markdown- can connect other stuff to same APIDownsides:- more code, it's somewhat annoying/problem-inducing to synchronize state correctly between server and client- more JS dependencies
gollark: They need precise 3-space coordinates.
