Just a random thought I had in morning: What is Nova?
I see that word used everywhere in naming something, Nova Prospekt, Nova FM in Ireland etc..
Is it some latin word?
New.

nova
/ˈnəʊvə/
noun (pl) -vae (-viː), -vas
a variable star that undergoes a cataclysmic eruption, observed as a sudden large increase in brightness with a subsequent decline over months or years; it is a close binary system with one component a white dwarf [/QUOTE]
Also, "No va" means "it doesn't go" in Spanish.
Yeah, it's from the Latin word [I]novus[/I] meaning 'new'.
Source: They taught Latin in my highschool...not any useful languages.

This ROOT-WORD is NOV which means NEW. It comes from the Latin nova, novus & novare all meaning NEW.

It's how I pay to feed the troops and build the Pumblers.
It is Nova 2014. A fearsome idea, a blazing comet across the sky.
Nova Scotia = New Scottland
