Umm, what are you talking about?

"nonce" is an English word meaning "made up for a single use",
basically.

http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=1h3n0rnjyng0?method=4&dsid=502&deid=279371004&gwp=8&curtab=502_1&sbid=lc01a

If you're asking why it isn't listed in jbovlaste, the answer is
"because the keyword for za'e is {nonce-word next}".

Unless you come up with a full place structure and write it up
somewhere, yes.

That's up to you.  I don't much bother with za'e myself.
