I’’m guessing from Osmerus eperlanus. But you’d have to ask Pierre, who
invented it. There’s no etymology record in the jbovlaste entry. Not
that I care. I just looked for words that rhymed with blanu. I could have
just as easily substituted in merlanu, a whiting. --gejyspa From:

sperlanu ;-) What was {sperlanu} derived from? Jbovlaste says it's a fu'ivla for
{smelt}, but it doesn't look like any of the words I'd expect -- the English
{smelt} or the scientific name for smelt. Though the second is probably
preferable. mu'o mi'e .aleks. |
