An Octavo of Stanzas

February 17, 2009

While at FOSDEM, Peter suggested that XMPP needs a collective noun for stanzas. We have a pack of dogs, a herd of cattle, and (my favorite) a murder of crows.

Two good ideas were suggested:

an octavo of stanzas

or

a folio of stanzas

See Wikipedia for the meanings of octavo and folio. Personally, I like the former. What about you?
