Rfv-sense - the adjective

I can find "Teguline clay", where Teguline seems to be a proper noun, and I found:
 * where the POS is unclear, but that is all I could find. Without a definition, it is hard to know where else to look. Kiwima (talk) 22:55, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
 * To understand the adjective, you need to know that is the Latin word for "roof tile", and that it's also the name for a genus of marine snails/gastropods. Currently, they're classified in the family, but that was formerly (from 1971) classified as the subfamily Tegulinae within the family . The standard ending for adjectives referring to subfamilies is -ine, so a teguline gastropod is a gastropod in the former subfamily Tegulinae. As for the clay, roof tiles were made from clay, so teguline clay would probably be a type used for roof tiles, or associated with roof tiles somehow. I don't think it's a proper noun.
