Merah was called CNA.2.

Excellent find hesham! The name still puzzles me.

I still have no clue what merah actually means. It isn't the name of a Greek letter.

is me in Italian ... so its not that. Much more obscure was Ϻ ϻ but the Greek name for that letter was San (because it was pronounced more like an 's') ... so not that one either ;p

Teta also comes up. Some sources claim that the modern Italian version of Θ θ to be Theta. I suspect the latter to be in error (unless modern Italian uses both variations?).
 
According to Google Translate, 'Merah' means 'Red', in Indonesian . . .

cheers,
Robin

I noted that too Robin. Merah is also a name - female in Hebrew, male in Arabic. Still can't a place for any of that within CNA's Greek letter naming practice though ;p

Well no, there doesn't seem to be any connection with greek letters whatsoever, but I was thinking 'Red' as in Schneider Racers, racing cars, etc. Maybe this design was part of a separate sequence, or designed and built as a commission, and the customer chose the name . . .

cheers,
Robin.
