Secret message A-M-C-A-P


During the first drawing there is this spelling below, what is the meaning behind A-M-C-A-P?

" 'A'is for Apricot.

'M'is for Marilla.

'C'is for Citrona.

Citrona.

'A'is for Ananas.

Ananas.

'P'is for Pineapple. "

Since Greenaway's details always hint to something, there must be a meaning. The only thing I see, is the pineapple which ends the movie.

AMCAP is a font used in the title of Heavy Metal magazine and the animated movie. But I can't see how that would be relevant to this movie, and I do not even know if the font had that name in 1982.
