Also, if, fo= r example, I wanted to say "the extinction of the dodo," would I say:

la = jutmro. le dodo.

"scale" is "kapyplita", but Turnip's suggestion of "karda" makes sense = too;=20
I'd say "kapkarda" rather than the other way around. But for "pangolin"= I'd=20
say "pangolino" (which is a fu'ivla, not a lujvo) or "gurmabru" (transl= ating=20
from Malay).

I'd say "cifybanfi", "ci'orbanfi", and "ma'urbanfi", as long as the con= text=20
makes it clear whether I'm talking about frogs or salamanders. There's = also=20
the "aclotli".

I say "jutmro" for "extinct".

You mean "mu'o mi'e". "tu'u" is the terminator of "tu'e", which is used= to=20
group together several sentences.
