    This query popped up on Linguistlist last year. There is a very comprensive
    summary of all the names and uses of @ in more than 30 languages at

    http://linguistlist.org/issues/11/11-1740.html#1

    if the link doesn't work, the posting was on 14 Aug 2000 by Karchung at the
    National Taiwan University, and should be searchable from the main
    www.linguistlist.org page. hope you enjoy it.
