man page section titles for ell and en

[Bill Evans at Mariposa]

The man page for 'man(1)' lists titles for nine man page sections:

1. FreeBSD General Commands Manual
2. FreeBSD System Calls Manual
3. FreeBSD Library Functions Manual
4. FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual
5. FreeBSD File Formats Manual
6. FreeBSD Games Manual
7. FreeBSD Miscellaneous Information Manual
8. FreeBSD System Manager's Manual
9. FreeBSD Kernel Developer's Manual

But the man page, in listing the default for the -S switch, hints at two more sections: l (ell) and n (en). Sure enough, those sections do exist. What's in them is entirely unfamiliar to me. What would be fair titles for those two other sections?

I think n is for new commands, and you will also find this as a possible section if you go to the FreeBSD manual page facility at https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi, but I have no idea what pages actually qualify as new. Further I seem to remember that l would be used for local manual pages.
