To explain a new signal processing technique based on Fourier Transform, Bogert et al went on to define a new vocabulary. The new terminology was published in a paper with the title:

The Quefrency Alanysis of Time Series for Echoes: Cepstrum, Pseudo-autocovariance, Cross-Cepstrum, and Saphe Cracking, B.P. Bogert, M.J.R. Healy, J.W. Tukey, Proc. Symp. Time Series Analysis, M. Rosemblatt, Ed., John Wiley & Sons, 1963, pp. 209-243.

Spell-checkers are not recommended... :-)

ADDED: As we can see, the authors changed the position of the letters in the paper title to reflect the phenomenon analysed (echo in communication). Then, they used these new words to nominate the signal processing technique.

The question is: are there another papers with this characteristic (papers where the unusual terminology in the title reflect the phenomenon analysed) ?

Only the term Cepstrum has been widely used.

BTW, Cepstrum is the result of taking the Inverse Fourier transform (FT) of the logarithm of the spectrum of a signal. There is a complex cepstrum, a real cepstrum, a power cepstrum, and phase cepstrum. The power cepstrum in particular finds applications in the analysis of human speech.

ADDED: The idea of the kepstrum appears in the classical work of Poisson (1823), Schwarz (1872), Szego (1915), and Kolmogorov (1939), and has been applied to geophysical problems by Robinson (1954), Bogert et al. (1963), Schafer (1969), Oppenheim and Schafer (1975), Tribolet (1977), and others., M.T. Silvia, E.A. Robinson, Use of Kepstrum in Signal Analysis, Geoexploration, 16, 1978, pp. 55-73.

Our word “kepstrum” means the same as their term “complex cepstrum”. Because the kepstrum of a real-time sequence is real, the use of the word “kepstrum” is less confusing than the term “complex cepstrum”., M.T. Silvia, E.A. Robinson, Use of Kepstrum in Signal Analysis, Geoexploration, 16, 1978, pp. 55-73.
