   * **Mamabula (Liberty Day)** - a celebration of the day when the forefathers (and foremothers) of the Congxie revolted in Cavendia and began their flight to freedom in the uplands. It is celebrated on the June new moon, to mark the historical use of that new moon as a sign to trigger a unified revolt.
   * **manpower** - while an OTL term, it is also used as an ATL synonym for the non-existent term "personnel" (e.g. "Those who had come to the party were the office workers: Finance, Office Administration, Sales, and Manpower.")
+  * **mechanic** - in this allohistory, mechanic has kept its broader nineteenth-century meaning of anyone who is skilled in the use of tools, machinery, or other specialised equipment; it is something of a cross between //engineer// and //artisan//.
   * **Nedlandj** - Gunnagalic pronunciation of the term "Nederlanders", i.e. "Dutch" (the nationality)
