Udzu:
Suggestions for more very welcome—would be nice to get to 100—though I'm focussing on common words only, which is why I didn't include little-known element names like gallium darmstadtium and yttrium.
Update #1: fixes and additions (including the other elements named after countries)
Update #2: more fixes and additions (including most of the remaining elements)
