`  == Potential sources ==  Some things I encountered while looking for the report on the 8th UNCSGN: *The Kadmon book should be a quotable source, as long as it is properly quoted (without distortion) and properly attributed. If someone feels like following this up: here is more bibliographic info. (I think the ``second`` author listed is spurious and a misspelling of the name of the first and true author.) *Another source that looks interesting from an encyclopedic perspective is this paper: Hamid M Almirian, A Historical Study on Nomenclature of the Persian Gulf. Onoma, the Journal of the International Council of Onomastic Sciences, vol. 35 pp 165–184 (2000)..   `
