peer agreement (net): +2also known as / alias Explanation: This is based on the following comment in the Wikipedia page on the at sign (@): "Other uses and meanings [...] As an abbreviation for alias in articles about missing persons, obituaries, brief reports - for instance: "John Smith @ Jean Smyth" (a possible abbreviation of aka)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_sign Unfortunately, no authority is cited to support this, but it fits perfectly in this context: both in the source text cited and the other Malay text cited by writeaway, "@" is used between what seem to be two alternative forms of a name. |
