DXB 'logic' of naming taxiways and aprons
Before you say anything I know I'm a sad git that needs to get life...etc
But Im seeing paterns of logic in the naming of the taxiways and apron in DXB or am I just adding 2+2 to make 5?
Apron
A A380
C Cargo
F Front
B Back
G Gov
H Highness
E East or Emirates?
Taxi
M Middle
L Link
N North
but it all falls down with K P J U & Z. Apart from that U & J have that shape.
OK I need to get a hobby

You got one wrong.....
G is for the GOLD en apron
OSTIN = NO STI (pig penn) PINGO was NO PIG but they caught on and changed it to Ginki which is too near to Kinki for my honest opinion!
ILS frequncies
XXXL + Left
XXXR = Right
XXXW = West
XXXE = ?
And I am really confused what the waypoint RAGED pronounced RAG "ED" is supposed to mean on the northern boundary between Saudi and Iraq?

12L IDBL stands for ILS Dubai Bearing Left
12R IDBE stands for ILS Dubai Bearing East
30L IDBW stands for ILS Dubai Bearing West
30R IDBR stands for ILS Dubai Bearing Right.
I'll leave UMAMA, LOTIT, ORGAS for my esteemed colleagues in Bahrain? to explain.

I wish Kuwait made that much sense! What do they have, six names for each taxiway?? That place is crazy with the taxiway names. Then, they don't even use the names to clear you - "second left, taxi to 33R"
