Should it be called "ctelyr. zei xasybakni" or "ctelyr. zei kemxasybakni"? BTW, I call the manatee "trixexu" and the dugong "xasybakni". "Sea cow" has been translated into several languages; they are called in tok Pisin "bulmakau bilong solwara" and the genus name of Steller's sea cow is "Hydrodamalis" which means water heifer. phma
