Re: Bestiarum Latin names translated | |

In Response To: Bestiarum Latin names translated (Fëanor) : Interesting wrinkle on this one -- 'Ophis' is Greek, not Latin. Maybe : intentional, maybe an oopsie -- we'll never know. Regardless, it describes : pretty accurately what's going on under that armor. : Reclaimer - Homo Sapiens Augeous (Wise man -- ?) : Another snafu. 'Augeous' is not a proper Latin word, as far as I'm aware.
Scientific names are only based on Latin. There are no rules (at least in botany, other professions have their own rules of nomenclature) stating that a name must be Latin, only that it looks Latin. Good job working on the translations, it was an interesting read!
