I also use "binjinpoi" for the "transition metals", as they are between

period that adds electrons in deeply buried subshells; and "jbijinpoi"
for poor-metals or near-metals such as tin and aluminum (this class is
somewhat artificial, and the English language group has already
recognized "poor" as a bad distinguishing characteristic); and
"si'irjinpoi" for the coinage metals (copper, silver, and gold); and
ninpoi for the noble gases.


rafsi nitpick: "jin" (djine, ring) should be "jim".

Thanks.
I noticed you wrote "blajinme" for "xinjinme". Looking at the explanation of the name on Wikipedia, "blajinme" is correct.
Where do you see a reference to "xinjinme"? "blajinme" classified with the near metals, as a member of "jbijimpoi", though that is the most poorly defined of the groups.
