Dunce that I am, it wasn't until I saw "Sex and the Swastika" that I 
learned that Geli is short for Angelica (or Angel).  Whether intended by 
Pynchon as significant or not, the name and my realization of its 
additional meaning caused another of those many "hmmmm" moments for me as 
the connections reverberated through my experience of, if not my 
"understanding" of GR.
