Dwarven blood types are not A, B, AB, O but Ale, Wine, Beer, Rum, Whisky and so forth.

It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

Mud?

... I think he wins. 2 letter earth/soil reference? Ya I got nothing :-P

Also, I was reading back a couple/few thousand years ago when the king of Israel was rebuilding after an Assyrian attack, he had to hack his way through the jungle to get to and cut a path to bring back those cedars of Lebanon, because the area was so heavily forested way back in the day, so maybe using their densities for a tropical forest cedar is kinda fitting :p

Technically, there is a single-character alchemical symbol for earth.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemical_symbol

It's an inverted triangle with a horizontal line through it.

Personally, I like [DF] because after climbing the damned learning cliff, I'm too elitist to consider not liking it.
