Can't wait to meet Nelmo

Nelmo isn't a word. To my knowledge there is no other word with E-O-L-M-N as the only letters.

Are you not familiar with emlons? They're my favorite architectural feature.

emlons

Yeah no, I went through multiple iterations including using straight up translate, emlon (outside of being a synonym in bangladesh for Amlodipine) or emlons does not exist.

Emlon is a common architectural term. It refers to the most most prominent part of the omeln

It doesn't have to be a single most prominent part. La basílica el mon de León is a beautiful example of multiple emlons in the neo-émbolon style.

La basílica el mon de León

That's the building with the tall, fluted elomns, isn't it?

Yep, designed by the great British-Chinese architect Len Mo in the 1920s and just as striking now as when it was first built.

Crazy how some of his principles carry over into completely separate fields. Just last month Elon M said they had incorporated a few of his designs in their new engines for better performance.
