cuark arriba: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que aunque puede haber algunas variaciones, los seis "cuarks" postulados y detectados por los físicos reciben los nombres de "arriba", "abajo", "encanto", "extraño", "cima" y "fondo", que permanecen invariables en aposición: los "cuarks arriba". Las formas españolas, ampliamente usadas, son preferibles a las inglesas "up", "down", "charm", "strange", "top" y "bottom". 1, record 1, Spanish, - cuark%20arriba
