Thanks, that's way more useful to me.

Allow me to contribute:

> Magistral: Magist(rate) + stral? Mag(nificent) + stral? Nobody knows.

That's just French for "masterful" or a way to describe lectures. There's a sense of greatness in that word that contrasts with the Mini in Ministral which is in turn might be a pun on "ménestrel" (minstrel), "ministre" (minister), or made to sound like Minitel (or all of the above).

This is great, I found it much more interesting to view this tree vs. the timeline alone.
