Well, at least it's clear from
http://www.answers.com/topic/ornament-music?hl=inverted&hl=mordent
that there's quite some confusion when it comes to naming.
Using the nomenclature of that article, the \prall in LilyPond is
an upper mordent and the \mordent in LilyPond is a lower mordent.
This is not the only example in LilyPond, where a native english
speaking hacker might have used some other naming. Actually, in
Swedish, we usually use "prall" and "mordent" with the same meaning
as in LilyPond and I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same in
Dutch.

If one played b c b as a triplet, then this is what I would call an
inverted mordent and I would use a mordent with a slash through it.
Can I make this happen (2.5.23)?
I did find a reference that a prall is the same as an inverted mordent.

The prall symbol in lilypond however is not a mordent with a slash
through it:

Insights are appreciated.
