    "Labels will be chosen by WHO using lists produced by an algorithm that takes existing words, extracts useful syllables, and recombines them in a combinatorial fashion. The algorithm creates names that are novel (such as Alcanopa, Focanuba or Pomanycus) but will be easier to remember and more practical to use than alphanumerical designations". Easier to remember and more practical.
