This query popped up on Linguistlist last year. There is a very comprensive
summary of all the names and uses of @ in more than 30 languages at

http://linguistlist.org/issues/11/11-1740.html#1

if the link doesn't work, the posting was on 14 Aug 2000 by Karchung at the
National Taiwan University, and should be searchable from the main
www.linguistlist.org page. hope you enjoy it.
