I'm looking at the 'bitcoin_0.10(1).tar.gz' sources downloaded today.  I think the confusion is because I misreported the capitalization.  Correcting that below:  

grep bitcion src/qt/locale/* will pop up two occurrences in the file bitcoin_ar.ts.

grep Bitconi src/qt/locale/* will pop up one occurrence in the file bitcoin_et.ts

grep Bitcon src/qt/locale/* will pop up the occurrence  in bitcoin_da.ts as well as repeating the one about 'Bitconi' above.

grep Bitcon doc/release-notes/* will pop up the occurrence in release-notes-0.6.3.md.

Where are you looking? git grep on a current checkout shows me no bitconi, though the bitcon (a dreadful mistake that I've made a number of times myself-- had a laptop with a lossy keyboard) is still in src/qt/locale/bitcoin_da.ts though not elsewhere.

The string 'bitconi' appears once in src/qt/locale/bitcoin_et.ts.

Similarly, the string 'bitcion' which appears twice in src/qt/locale/bitcoin_ar.ts.

A search on DuckDuckGo does not reveal these strings occurring elsewhere in Arabic or whatever-the-other-language-is, so I believe they are more likely to be misspellings than correct inflections.  But I do not know these languages to be sure.

Can we consult someone who actually speaks those languages for confirmation?

On a more certain note, we have 'Bitcon' appearing in English in doc/release-notes-0.6.3.md and 'bitcon' in Dutch in src/qt/locale/bitcoin_da.ts.  These latter two cases I am absolutely certain are misspellings.
