ununbium
n.— «The ubiquitous periodic table will soon have a new addition—the “super-heavy” element 112. […] IUPAC temporarily named the element ununbium, as “ununbi” is derived from the figures “one one two” in Latin; but Professor Hofmann’s team now has the task of proposing its official name.» —“Periodic table gets a new element” by Victoria Gill BBC News (United Kingdom) June 10, 2009.
