In a CNAME record, the left side is the "alias" and the right side is
the canonical name.
Grab you local Websters/Oxford's and look up "canonical".
With an SOA and an NS record, the left side is always a canonical name.
In an NS record the right side is also a canonical name.
Obviously the right hand side of an SOA is neither a canonical name nor
an alias.
