    I see. I’ve seen “zero” as well, and I also like that alternative.

      Unfortunately that has overlap with Echo.

      Ideally, these words are distinct even when most of the audio data is missing (as tends to happen with very bad connections/dropped packets). Worst case is only the “vocal” sounds coming through, as those are very common. Some people pronounce “zero” similarly to how “echo” is pronounced. “Zulu” has no such overlap.
