I thought that green peppers are Capsicum frutescens, while green chilis are C. annuum, as are the jalapeņos and habaneros (which I called {xabnero kapsiku} in the recipe). Does it make sense to call bell peppers {kapsiku be la janbe}? > library which gave the name in some Native American language, and it means > about the same thing.> > > Ditto, mutatis mutandis.

I don't know what you mean by "ditto", since I'm asking a different kind of question. American ginseng is Panax quinquefolium, Korean is P. ginseng, and Siberian is Eleutherococcus senticoccus. But I'm asking whether {remgenja} is an appropriate word for them, not how to call the different species. phma
