Talk:petrodrome

RFV discussion: October–November 2020
"The East African four-toed elephant shrew"; deleted as "tosh" in 2008 by Blotto. However, it does seem to mean this according to some respectable dictionaries. (I would have guessed it had something to do with Mad Max.) Does it meet CFI? Equinox ◑ 09:20, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The species is named Petrodomus tetradactylus. Prescriptive biologists want members of the genus to be called .  Normal people will continue to say .  I did not see any true uses of petrodome in English, but search engines are doing their best to bury true hits under other spellings.  Vox Sciurorum (talk) 10:21, 22 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Has it been both Petrodromus and Petrodomus, or is one of them a misspelling? The latter might make more sense (something like "makes its home in the rocks"?) but as I say the -drome form does seem to be in dictionaries. Equinox ◑ 10:30, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Well I did a simple search for petrodome... er, petrodrome, I mean ... I'll come in again. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 12:23, 22 October 2020 (UTC)


 * "Petrodromus means "rock-running", which makes sense to me. Chuck Entz (talk) 14:04, 22 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah, what idiot would mix Latin and Greek? (meheheheh) Thanks. Equinox ◑ 14:05, 22 October 2020 (UTC)


 * I put the only example I could find (capitalized) on the citations page. It's also used as a caption of an image in Century, which could be argued to count, but we're scraping the bottom of the barrel. - -sche (discuss) 23:39, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
