Theres one word that was left out from the discussion.

numerate() As far as I can tell, the dictionary meaning is pretty much the same as for enumerate, but theres a much stronger association with numbering things (especially for non-latin speakers).

I'm +/- 0 on this. It saves a letter and may indeed suggest numbering more closely, but it's an even more obscure word than enumerate().

BTW, the two votes I've received so far were in favor of enumerate().
