First note that these are names and are not grammaticly correct.
SImwI' tIQ - ancient calculater - abacus
SImtIq - SIm/calculate(v) + tIq/long(v) - slide-rule
SImnaQ - SIm + naQ/stick(n) - that thing Joel presented in last HolQeD
Where is SImwI' tIQ in my message? It isn't. The abacus has added to my
site last year, so I didn't talk about it, just listed it in the SKI.
