name for 4 bits (half a byte)

@mavica_again As a pedant I am obliged to point out a byte is not necessarily 8bits, and on a 36bit machine with 9bit bytes half a byte is a really strange concept.

The French use of "octet" was much clearer.

nybble just looks wrong. for some reason byte does not look wrong.
