Chemical element of metals. Cu comes from Cuprum, Fe comes from Ferrum, Ag from Argentum. The symbols were not followed by a period (full stop) as with abbreviations. Later chemical elements were also assigned unique chemical symbols, based on the name of the element, but not necessarily in English. For example, sodium has the chemical symbol 'Na' after the Latin "natrium". The same applies to "W" (wolfram) for tungsten, "Fe" (ferrum) for iron, "Hg" (hydrargyrum) for mercury, "Sn" (stannum) for tin, "K" (kalium) for potassium, "Au" (aurum) for gold, "Ag" (argentum) for silver, "Pb" (plumbum) for lead, "Cu" (cuprum) for copper, and
SN 2002cx brightness faster than SN 1991T and SN 2000cx in the B-band. In the V-band SN 2002cx is similar to SN 1999ac until 30 days after max. Again SN 2002cx declines faster in the V-band than SN 1991T, but slower than is typical for a type Ia. SN 2002cx is peculiar in the R-band, as it brightens very fast in a manner wholly different from SN 1999ac. It has no secondary maximum in R-band as expected if it were similar to SN 1991T, but instead has a plateau after max. The R-band also declines more slowly than normal. The I-band behaves
