Kernel? That's a bit complicated for me. Can we call it 'core' instead?

A more runewise crosscarrying would be "the nut of the uncleft".

Doesn't that come from Latin cor ‘heart’? :-) (Just guessing.)

(Also, core can also refer to the nucleus plus the electrons other than those in the outermost shell, so it'd be ambiguous.)
