Hola Adam, I don't think so.  I  don't remember who gave it that name, (maybe 
it was you) but it will just be an  informal synonym that will not die but 
simply fade away into the ever changing  sands of the desert...The nice little 
Oum Dreyga pebble I got from you and Greg  is already updated from the informal 
Amgala name, and I don't think the cottage  label industry will be turning 
out Amgala labels for it, most certainly any  museum or scientist won't be 
making any exception for the nomenclature - no  doubt Amgala is reserved for the 
next genuine fall there predicted in a decade  or so:-).  "Amgala" had a nice 
ring to it, though, now we are back to Oum's  and Ben's - it will blend right 
in...I am starting to like the name.  Does  anyone know the meaning of the word 
"Dreyga"?  It reminds me of Draco, the  Dragon...
Saludos, Doug
