Pursuant to a discussion of hypnotism techniques and sleep promotion--whilst tasting exotic brews in our sauna--two very closely allied tactics: In connection with the latter my splendid No. 2 Son Sky recommended silent repetition of "nothing" as an aid to rejecting interfering thoughts
So in resolving to try his system I nonetheless had a few intervening and interfering thoughts, the chief one noting how many common synonyms for "nothing":
Nil, nada, Nichts (Note the cap. Need I explain?), naught, nix, null
Zip, zero, zilch, zippo, zot
.....begin with N and Z
Why is that, do you suppose

That's about all I found at onelook. That and a few acronyms. It didn't have nothing.

A zot is a fool; zoet is sweet; zout is salt and zo is so;
so be it something.

Here's another source for zot as a synonym for nothing
http://www.whyknought.com/22.html?*session*id*key*=*session*id*val*
It wasn't easy to find. But to save you the trouble:
naught, nil, nobody, nonentity, nothing, nothingness, nought, nullity, squat, zilch, zip, zippo*, zot*

That's not another source. They're both quoting the same primary resource. Looks like a good resource but it's not independent.
