"Equation 10" will be awkward, though. Still, it has to
be a pronoun of some kind.

"Simply Out of Luck"? "Standing on One Leg"? I give up...

That's what I say in Spanish, "ene prima" and "ene segunda",
but in English I've always heard it called "n double prime".
I don't think English speakers perceive the "prime" as
meaning "first", and I don't think even Spanish speakers
perceive that "prima" as meaning "primera".
