I am working on the brief entry for "uncial" in the Eerdmans Bible 
Dictionary, and I have discovered the same thing that Michael Holmes 
noted, that "uncial" is sometimes used as a technical term for a curved 
form of Greek or Latin majuscules.  The use of the term to refer to 
Greek majuscule continuous text parchment mss, though idiosyncratic, does 
seem to be entrenched among NT textual critics.
