Should it be "Ommer", "Uncle" or sth. else?

Currently EthOn uses the class "Ommer" and declares "Uncle" as being equivalent.

An Ommer (or Uncle) is the direct child of the k'th generation ancestor of a Block B, where 2<=k<=7 but not a direct ancestor of B. They are blockchain blocks found by a miner, when a different miner has already found another block for the corresponding place in the blockchain. They are also known as “stale blocks”. The parent of an Uncle is an ancestor of the inserting block, located at the tip of the blockchain.

What should be the primary term used for this concept in EthOn?

(Thanks @cdetrio for raising this)

Uncle.

ommer isn't an English word https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&filter=dictionary&query=ommer

If anyone has an actual subscription to oed.com, I don't think we'll find it there either.

Considering that Ommer is rarely used and was introduced mainly as a gender neutral term the term will be changed to Uncle in EthOn for easier understanding.
