In the Hyperledger Indy docs and code I often see reference to a NYM but I cannot find a clear description of what this means including in the official glossary.
What is a NYM and how does this differ from a VERINYM?

LibIndy. Provides low level API to work with credentials and proofs. It provides operations to create create credential requests, credentials, proofs. It also exposes operations for communication with Hyperldger Indy ledger.
Hyperledger Indy provides tools, libraries, and reusable components for providing digital identities rooted on blockchains or other distributed ledgers so that they are interoperable across administrative domains, applications, and any other silo.
DID's are broadly classified as Verinym or Pseudonym.
Creation of a DID that is known to the ledger is know as a Verinym, and the transaction used for creating a Verinym is known as a NYM transacition.
