MCP          {motion compensated prediction}
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
MCP-1600          A processor made by {Western Digital}, consisting of at least       four separate {integrated circuit}s, including the control       circuitry unit, the {ALU}, two or four {ROM} chips with       {microcode}, and timing circuitry.          The ALU chip contained twenty-six 8-bit {register}s and an       8-bit {ALU}, while the control unit supervised the moving of       data, memory access, and other control functions.   The {ROM}       allowed the chip to function as either an 8- or 16-bit chip,       with clever use of the 8-bit {ALU}.   Further, {microcode}       allowed the addition of {floating-point} routines (40 + 8 bit       format), simplifying programming (and possibly producing a       floating-point coprocessor).          Two standard {microcode} {ROM}s were available.   This       flexibility was one reason it was also used to implement the       {DEC} {LSI-11} processor as well as the {WD} {Pascal       Microengine}.          (1994-11-18)

Misgab       height, a town of Moab, or simply, the height=the citadel, some       fortress so called; or perhaps a general name for the highlands       of Moab, as some think (Jer. 48:1). In Isa. 25:12, the word is       rendered "high fort."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mizpah       or Miz'peh, watch-tower; the look-out. (1.) A place in Gilead,       so named by Laban, who overtook Jacob at this spot (Gen. 31:49)       on his return to Palestine from Padan-aram. Here Jacob and Laban       set up their memorial cairn of stones. It is the same as       Ramath-mizpeh (Josh. 13:26).                (2.) A town in Gilead, where Jephthah resided, and where he       assumed the command of the Israelites in a time of national       danger. Here he made his rash vow; and here his daughter       submitted to her mysterious fate (Judg. 10:17; 11:11, 34). It       may be the same as Ramoth-Gilead (Josh. 20:8), but it is more       likely that it is identical with the foregoing, the Mizpeh of       Gen. 31:23, 25, 48, 49.                (3.) Another place in Gilead, at the foot of Mount Hermon,       inhabited by Hivites (Josh. 11:3, 8). The name in Hebrew here       has the article before it, "the Mizpeh," "the watch-tower." The       modern village of Metullah, meaning also "the look-out,"       probably occupies the site so called.                (4.) A town of Moab to which David removed his parents for       safety during his persecution by Saul (1 Sam. 22:3). This was       probably the citadel known as Kir-Moab, now Kerak. While David       resided here he was visited by the prophet Gad, here mentioned       for the first time, who was probably sent by Samuel to bid him       leave the land of Moab and betake himself to the land of Judah.       He accordingly removed to the forest of Hareth (q.v.), on the       edge of the mountain chain of Hebron.                (5.) A city of Benjamin, "the watch-tower", where the people       were accustomed to meet in great national emergencies (Josh.       18:26; Judg. 20:1, 3; 21:1, 5; 1 Sam. 7:5-16). It has been       supposed to be the same as Nob (1 Sam. 21:1; 22:9-19). It was       some 4 miles north-west of Jerusalem, and was situated on the       loftiest hill in the neighbourhood, some 600 feet above the       plain of Gibeon. This village has the modern name of Neby       Samwil, i.e., the prophet Samuel, from a tradition that Samuel's       tomb is here. (See {NOB}.)                Samuel inaugurated the reformation that characterized his time       by convening a great assembly of all Israel at Mizpeh, now the       politico-religious centre of the nation. There, in deep       humiliation on account of their sins, they renewed their vows       and entered again into covenant with the God of their fathers.       It was a period of great religious awakening and of revived       national life. The Philistines heard of this assembly, and came       up against Israel. The Hebrews charged the Philistine host with       great fury, and they were totally routed. Samuel commemorated       this signal victory by erecting a memorial-stone, which he       called "Ebenezer" (q.v.), saying, "Hitherto hath the Lord helped       us" (1 Sam. 7:7-12).
