Not a character in standard mythology books, Nemes turns up as an Hungarian name and ''Nemessag'' is "nobility" in Hungarian, while ''Alma'' is a cognate of Turkish ''Elma''. Are we dealing with a play on [https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemes_alma ''Nemes alma''], apparently a highly cultivated apple variety?

Nemes?
Not a character in standard mythology books, Nemes turns up as an Hungarian name and Nemessag is "nobility" in Hungarian, while Alma is a cognate of Turkish Elma. Are we dealing with a play on Nemes alma, apparently a highly cultivated apple variety? Richard Mix (talk) 22:14, 9 September 2018 (UTC) Bergquist is of the opinion that it refers to a singer, from the circle of the Antwerp banker Stephano Gentile, who adopted a "pseudo-antique" nickname based on Nemesis.
