My point was that while 'member [name]' and 'alias' are useful terms
in an MVS environment they are without official warrant elsewhere.

The word 'pukka' has the usual Sanskrit==>Hindi==>British English
etymology.  It meant literally 'cooked' and now means legitimate or
high-quality exemplar of.

Cognates abound.  In Farsi, for example, rare meat is described as 'na
pochte', not cooked; and the American 'half-baked', used to describe
some ideas and etymologies, may reflect semantic contamination from
this source.
