We talk about the first element of a list much more often than we talk about a pointer to it, so it would seem more natural to use "head" for the first element and "head pointer" for a pointer to it, rather than "referent of the head" for the first element and "head" for the pointer. (Especially given that a list has only one first element but we might have multiple pointers to it; I've only heard people say "the head", not "a head"..) | |
