Pierre should probably vet this.

Posted by sarefo on Fri 24 of Oct., 2008 21:58 GMT posts: 8 notes in dict entry of curni:

"the generalization to invertebrate is because almost all multicellular invertebrates are indeed wormlike."

hell, no! from wikipedia:

"An invertebrate is an animal lacking a vertebral column. The group includes 98% of all animal species1 — all animals except those in the Chordate subphylum Vertebrata (fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals)."

so, sea urchins, beetles, sponges, jellyfish, spiders, you name it.

Posted by arj on Fri 18 of May, 2007 23:31 GMT posts: 953 The notes for "salci" has "funeral (= mrobixsla)". This is unfortunate, because a jvojva interpretation of "mrobixsla" is that it refers to a participant in the celebration, not the celebration itself.

BPFK Section: gismu Issues

Posted by PierreAbbat on Wed 22 of Oct., 2008 12:18 GMT posts: 324 On Wednesday 22 October 2008 05:10:17 arj wrote: > sarefo_work2 on IRC says that, in the notes for jalra, in "while roaches > are an order unto themselves, they are part of Orthoptera, which includes > grasshoppers, crickets, etc.", "part of" should be replaced with "closely > related to". > > Pierre should probably vet this.

The closest relatives of cockroaches are termites, with the closest extant relatives being the cockroach Cryptocercus, which eats wood, and the termite Mastotermes, which lays egg cases. Some taxonomists classify both cockroaches and termites as one order.

The next closest order is the mantises, which I call {mantode} ({mantida} would refer to only one family and is easy to mistake for {manti da}). These and the cockroaches and termites constitute the Dictyoptera.

How closely the Orthoptera are related to any of them appears to be disagreed among taxonomists. There are some references to an infraclass, or superorder, Orthopteroidea, but the classification currently listed on Wikipedia places Orthoptera in Exopterygota sensu stricto.

So {mantyctijalra} should be retained, but if we say {pipyjalra} and {sagjalra}, they are like {xajyfi'e}, which isn't a fish.
