jargonium

These various spectra of jargonium are all of a very marked character, quite unlike those due to any other element in similar conditions.

1869年July2日，H. C. Sorby，“On jargonium: a new elementary substance associated with zirconium”, in The Chemical News and Journal of Industrial Science:

In the same year as the jargonium announcement, 1869, Arthur Herbert Church (1834–1915) announced the discovery of a new element associated with zircon.

2014，Marco Fontani，The Lost Elements: The Periodic Table's Shadow Side:

Sorby announced, in 1869, the discovery of a new element – Jargonium – by spectroscopic analysis, but was forced in the following year to withdraw his claim as it was found that the interpretation of the spectrum was more complicated than he had supposed.

common noun

在英語中，大多數的普通名詞前面可加不定冠詞，但也有例外（如一般不說“there is a molybdenum on earth”，而是說“there is molybdenum on earth”），許多普通名詞首字母不大寫，也有首字母大寫的情況（如Frenchman）。首字母是否大寫不是區分普通名詞和專有名詞的依據。

ununennium

音頻 (標準英式、通用美式)

原子序數為119的未發現元素（符號：Uue）。

Element 119: Ununennium (Uue) This has yet to be reported. From its position in the periodic table, in group 1 below francium, this element should have the physical properties of an alkali metal and, were it long-lived enough, the element should display the singly-charged ion M⁺ as its most favoured chemical state.

2001，John Emsley，“The Elements (A–Z)”, in Nature’s Building Blocks: An A–Z Guide to the Elements，Oxford: Oxford University Press, 出版於 2002 printing, →ISBN，頁 468:

"[…] Clemson had element 119 and somehow it attached itself to the oxygen atoms on Earth. The commission wants this element 119 to be called Ununennium based on the element number, one, one, and nine." / Sandi speaks into the telephone, "That is ridiculous! Can't you change the name of the element to the person that found the gas cloud back at SETI, Rich Tolt?" / "I can make a recommendation to the rest of the commission, but rarely do they change names. The names for the next ten elements have been chosen based on the element number and the Latin names of that number to make it easier for the world."

2007，Steven Comas，章號 10, in The Trojan Horse Cloud，Bloomington, Ind.: AuthorHouse, →ISBN，頁 77:

Our question at the beginning of this essay was "are there more elements to be discovered?" The next elements would be ununennium (atomic number 119) and unbinilium (atomic number 120). The problems in trying to produce these elements by accelerating an ion beam into a target are the short half-lives of possible target elements and the extended times required for a successful observation of a new element. So far, elements 119 and 120 have eluded discovery. But you can expect that scientists will continue to search for new elements.

wealthlessness

In the Gaul of the early sixth century, to reassure monks that they could be bishops meant persuading them that the wealth of the church had come to stay. It was there. The only issue was how to deal with it. [Julianus] Pomerius went out of his way to prove that involvement with the wealth of the church need not pollute them or detract from their spiritual life. It was possible to be both a contemplative and an administrator. The tantalizing disjuncture between the wealth of the church and the studied wealthlessness of its nominal owner, the bishop, was central to Pomerius's argument. Pomerius insisted that the wealth of the church could be administered—indeed, even increased—by persons inspired by the austere distinction between wealth and its mere "managers" delineated by the old Augustine.

In a remote southwestern pocket of the Central African Republic, doctor Patrick Karume and his small team are on the jungle frontline to quarantine a rare outbreak of monkeypox.

2018年October25日，“On the frontline against monkeypox in Central African Republic”, in France 24，存檔自the original on 2018-10-25:

Monkeypox is a rare viral pox-like disease from the smallpox family, only milder. It can be transmitted through respiratory droplets, contact with body fluids or contact with an infected animal or animal products.
The first human case of monkeypox was recorded in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The United States saw a large outbreak among humans in 2003 after the virus spread from imported African rodents to pet prairie dogs. However, this is believed to be the first monkeypox virus infection in a Texas resident, according to Dallas County health officials.
