[2] : Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001)

nybble /nib'l/ alt. `nibble' n. from v. `nibble' by analogy with
   `bite' => `byte' four bits; one hex digit; a half-byte. though `byte'
   is now techspeak, this useful relative is still jargon. compare
   byte; see also bit. the more mundane spelling "nibble" is also
   commonly used. apparently the `nybble' spelling is uncommon in
   commonwealth hackish, as british orthography would suggest the
   pronunciation /ni:'bl/.

   following `bit', `byte' and `nybble' there have been quite a few
   analogical attempts to construct unambiguous terms for bit blocks of
   other sizes. all of these are strictly jargon, not techspeak, and not
   very common jargon at that most hackers would recognize them in context
   but not use them spontaneously. we collect them here for reference
   together with the ambiguous techspeak terms `word', `half-word', `double
   word', and `quad' or `quad word'; some indicated have substantial
   information separate entries.

 2 bits:
       crumb, quad, quarter, tayste, tydbit, morsel
  
 4 bits:
       nybble
  
 5 bits:
       nickle
  
 10 bits:
       deckle
  
 16 bits:
       playte, chawmp on a 32-bit machine, word on a 16-bit
       machine, half-word on a 32-bit machine.
  
 18 bits:
       chawmp on a 36-bit machine, half-word on a 36-bit
       machine
  
 32 bits:
       dynner, gawble on a 32-bit machine, word on a 32-bit
       machine, longword on a 16-bit machine.
  
 36 bits:
       word on a 36-bit machine
  
 48 bits:
       gawble under circumstances that remain obscure
  
 64 bits:
       double word on a 32-bit machine quad on a 16-bit machine
  
 128 bits:
       quad on a 32-bit machine
  
   the fundamental motivation for most of these jargon terms aside from
   the normal hackerly enjoyment of punning wordplay is the extreme
   ambiguity of the term `word' and its derivatives.
