I don't know if there's a genus Glaux, but there is a genus Spiloglaux. Some of the words I made up for the foul fowl list are fu'ivla based on Hebrew, because I couldn't be sure enough what sort of bird was referred to to use a Greek or Latin word. E.g. "cipnrbatiana" - "bat ya`anah" is often translated "ostrich", but it occurs only in the FFL without explanation; whereas "ne`elasah", also translated "ostrich", occurs in Job with enough description to match. phma
