My lands and their neighbours have two related genera of mammals that are known colloquially as 'Cave Shrews' and 'Stink-Rats' respectively (although they're actually not closely related either to 'true' shrews or to true 'rats...).

The first one looks really Greek. Sorex seems also more mouse-y, consider migale.Bears Armed wrote:My lands and their neighbours have two related genera of mammals that are known colloquially as 'Cave Shrews' and 'Stink-Rats' respectively (although they're actually not closely related either to 'true' shrews or to true 'rats...).

Mephitirattus is probably fine.

It's fine, actually. I'd not seen the word spelaeum before, it comes from Greek but it is Latin. I'd've said something like cavatosorex.Bears Armed wrote:Conoga wrote:The first one looks really Greek. Sorex seems also more mouse-y, consider migale.
Mephitirattus is probably fine.
If that's too Greek, can you suggest a good Latin alternative?
Sorex is actually one of the main genera [in RL as well as the IDU] of "true" Shrews, so I think that its name is one that a taxonomist might plausibly have incorporated into the name for another shrew-like animal.
Thank you re Mephitirattus.

(If the epithets’ proper endings would vary according to the subjects’ genders then in these cases, obviously, it should be the ‘feminine’ endings used…)
Anybody?

This is nonsense and I'm quite curious how you arrived at it. "Videta" is not the passive participle of "video" at all and "ista" doesn't mean anything remotely like "such".

Pancratiasta is an obscenely Greek word for a specific kind of Greek martial artist involving wrestling, pancratium. It's kind of like ancient MMA, yeah? Athleta or maybe ceroma is, more generally and less Grecian, a fighter or wrestler.

Actually, thinking further, I might use both of those designations as alternative epithets for this single Aspect, with which is used in a specific situation tending to depend on the nature of the effort in which Her aid is hoped-for.
‘Phaëtone’ does look like a good idea to me, yes, especially as mythology names another daughter of Helios as Phaethusa. I’m now also considering ‘Chryse (i.e. ‘Golden’) for this.
In a ‘Who’s Who in Classical Mythology’, I've found ‘Elater’ as a Greek term for “Driver” (meaning “Charioteer”), and I might use this instead of ‘Auriga’.
