Here's an answer.
Happy new year!
That is very interesting. Hats off to you, Jon Swift!
To summarize the points from the article:
-It's no accident that there are so many x's and z's in drug names.
-Apparently, X connotes technological innovation.
-Letters like C and Z connote efficacy, that a drug will work well.
-Nothing about Y, though ... hmmm
