They are place holders - what does Pepsi mean or duali (to a non-arabic) ?
Its simply a name grouping mechanism associated with the fonts which
either relate to their style of creators (I'd love to see how you'll
name your offspring ;-).

a package per sub-dir, ie. a package for AAHS, for Kasr, for Shmookh, etc.
