   If B stands for Byte, and W stands for Word, what do A and D stand for?   
      
   Byte, Word, Double-word, and Quad are semi-standard names for 8-bits,   
   16-bits, 32-bit, and 64-bit respectively, yes?  Not only would the   
   names be consistent using B W Q D but they would also indicate the size   
   of the argument as well.

     Q1            D1            W1            B1

   It must stand as it's own territory separate from Christain, Muslim,   
   and Jewish lands.
