If this\nis actually what Wolfe meant, I'm actually stupefied to the extent\nhe'll go for a silly pun.\n\nNotule is French for a short note, comment, or minute. It comes from\nLatin notula, the diminutive of nota (mark, token, note, sign).  A\nnotula is a distinguishing mark or a mark of punctuation.  If a notule\nis supposed to resemble a vampire bat, the latter leaves a\ndistinguishing mark:  a mark of puncturation.  Shudder.\n\nRobert Borski has also previously reported that a noctule is a red bat\n(Nyctalus noctula).  I've also found that it is the diminutive of\nnotus (meaning well-known, famous), the diminutive of Notus (the south\nwind).  Notum is also the back part of an insect thorax.\n\nprion"
