- Thanks Stone for the reference, this is interesting reading! According to our German colleagues http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinakol the word pinacol originates from the Greek pinax. I am unable to verify this. The Berson article also does not mention who in the end came up with this name. Suggestions? V8rik (talk) 22:50, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
