The tenth day, called 'denate,' was a festive day, and friends and relatives were invited to take part in a sacrifice and a repast.

Thus, for example, Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus; Publius is the pronomen; Cornelius, the nomen, designating the name of the race Cornelia; Scipio, the cognomen, or surname of the family; and Africanus, the agnomen, which indicated his exploits.

Not-a-Number
NaN
(NaN) An IEEE floating point representation for the result of a numerical operation which cannot return a valid number value. A NaN can result from multiplying an infinity by a zero, or from subtracting one infinity from another [what else?].
NaN is encoded as a special bit pattern [what pattern?] which would otherwise represent a floating-point number. It is used to signal error returns where other mechanisms are not convenient, e.g. a hardware floating-point unit and to allow errors to propagate through a calculation.
Similar bit patterns represent positive and negative overflow and underflow and the positive and negative infinities resulting from division by zero.

成立於1695年6月22日（1691年自紐約州劃入麻薩諸塞州）。縣名來自納拉甘西特語（Narragansett）或萬帕諾亞格語（Wampanoag），意思是「尖岬周圍的潮水」。另一個意思是「遙遠的島嶼」。

Is an island about 30 miles (50 km) by ferry [1] south from Cape Cod, in the American state of Massachusetts. Together with the small islands of Tuckernuck and Muskeget, it constitutes the Town of Nantucket, and the conterminous Nantucket County, which are consolidated. As of the 2010 census, the population was 10,172. [2] Part of the town is designated the Nantucket CDP, or census-designated place. The region of Surfside on Nantucket is the southernmost settlement in Massachusetts.
The name "Nantucket" is adapted from similar Algonquian names for the island, perhaps meaning "faraway land or island" or "sandy, sterile soil tempting no one". [3]
Nantucket is a tourist destination and summer colony. Due to tourists and seasonal residents, the population of the island increases to at least 50,000 during the summer months. [4] The island has become attractive to wealthy residents in recent years, causing home prices to rise: The average sale price for a single-family home was $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2018. [5]
The National Park Service cites Nantucket, designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1966, as being the "finest surviving architectural and environmental example of a late 18th- and early 19th-century New England seaport town". [6]
