What does Arcoscephale mean?

[moderation]

I think cephale means "head", as in the case of cephalopods, but what is does "Arco" mean? All I can think of is either the Arco gas company or a misspelling of acropolis. Anyone have insights into the name of this nation?

[Omnirizon]

it probably is just 'acro' with the 'c' and 'r' rearranged and tagged onto 'cephale'. both are greek words.

Arco is a musical term you might know if you played the violin, but that seems rather obscure to me.

Hmm... acrocephalia is a medical term for someone with a pointed or conelike head. If 'arco' is a misspelling of 'acro', then that means Arcoscephaleans are coneheads.

and likewise, what does T'ien Ch'i mean?

T'ien Ch'i basically means "Heaven and Earth". Pretty ambitious name once you think about it.
