Isn't the x2 of organism brivla usually "species/breed"?

 

But dinosaurs are just too broad a category (further up the heirarchy) for x2 to be species/breed.

They are a 'superorder' with suborders which themselves are divided into infraorders, then families.

Also they are a subdivision of an infraclass.  In other words, it's just too complicated and that is why

I suggested just 'type'.

Both {mabru} and {respa} have the "species/breed" x2. I guess I can see the argument for both sides, but I do have an soft spot for "making place structures as easy to memorize as possible".
