This means they are T-rexes!?). And while we can keep the names primitive, it's a fair bet that Thog on the Lost Continent isn't speaking common when he calls the thing a "Long Tail," so what does it sound like when he speaks it? "Uktag?" "Baflurg?" That's the word we should be using. Triceratops doesn't sound dumb even though it literally means "Three Horn Face." So what does "Three Horn Face" sound like in Elvish, or Old Suel, or Orc, or Gnoll, or wherever this thing is living? If it sounds too academic in Greek, and too childish in English, lets use our fantasy languages to come up with something that sounds authentic to the world.</p></blockquote><p></p>
