If 8 bits is a byte, then 16 bits should be a mouthful.

Hi all,


as most of you are aware, there is no definite, canonical name for the
two bytes of IPv6 addresses between colons. This forces people to use
a description like I just did instead of a single, specific term.

I am ok with "quibble" but I don't think it will gain wide usage in the US.  We use "quad" at work.
