Can I expand on this further? In reports, should kriging, kriged, and krige be written with an uppercase K, or lowercase as shown here?

If you want to be pedantic, the technique was not named "kriging" by Matheron but "krigeage" - a attempt to turn "krige" into a noun. This is pronounced with a very soft 'g' almost a 'sh' sound. Most of the other 'foreign' versions use a hard 'g': krigaggio, krigovanie kriggage (quebecois) and so on. Almost everyone I know use the short 'i' as in pig. Isobel http://geoecosse.bizland.com
