as part of a well worn path and a particular pun

gnu is when seen from one perspective

(g)nu

then in some places it was thought to be very clever if you replaced

nu with New

the use of

gNew was to emphasise this pun

therefore it leads to the correct pronouncing when you know the pun of

gnu sense
