reserved-words

After having spent a lot of time researching Rails reserved words and implementing, I still have a few questions regarding use.

In my example here, I'll consider the reserved word 'time'. Let's say I want to create a class 'Timepiece'. Is it not recommended to use 'timepiece' because the name begins with 'time'? Would it be recommended to use 'time_piece' or to avoid inserting the reserved word at all? My question here is also about use of the exact reserved word within the class like that.

Thank you.
