As I recall (I can't find my copy of 2001), the monolith was originally
called TMA-1 for Tycho Magnetic Anomaly One.  The funny thing here is that
the second monolith was called TMA-2, although (a) it was not in Tycho and
(b) it was not magnetic.  Of course, it could be my memory that's anomalous
instead!  (Maybe TMA stood for The Mon Alith?)
