6:53 Actually, the classical latin pronunciation of soft c was /t͡ʃ/, you should be pronouncing that /vini vidivit͡ʃi/. (you might spell it as "VEE-nee VEE-dee VEE-chee"). Other than that, great video, Zzineohp! I showed this to my wife during mommy-son milky time, and she thought it was great!
@@eyeless_person Yes, the classical Latin pronunciation of C is always hard no matter what vowel comes after. Ecclesiastical pronunciation is where C softens.
"the classical latin pronunciation of soft c was /t͡ʃ/" Are you sure you're not mistaking ecclesiastical with classical? remember Latin in the classical era was a phonetic writing system, 1 letter = 1 sound, only exceptions being "X" with 2 sounds merged into 1, and "QV" 1 sound in 2 letters. edit: spelling
That was the wrong picture of Love Deluxe. What you showed was actually a stand called "Love Love Deluxe", featured in Part 8. Also you pronounced "muda" wrong
I think it’s important to mention that Caenorhabditis elegans is the most studied species in all of biology, which is why so many species being shortened to C. elegans is such an issue, especially because nobody bothers to say its full name (I spent five years studying a Biology and don’t have a clue how to pronounce Caenorhabditis correctly because not a single lecturer said it even once despite how often it was mentioned.)
Funny thing about cycads, the trunk and apical bud of the plant is collectively called a "head" for... reasons? Tree ferns also get the same treatment IIRC, though weirdly I haven't seen this usage applied to palms. I guess somebody thought that all the leaves coming from the top looked like hair or something, but people do still use this term (ex. if a cycad has grown multiple trunks, people will talk about how many heads it has). So they _kinda_ have heads? Sorta? edit: weird terminology for plant/animal parts would be a great follow up video!
yooo i showed up for mentioning c. elegans, the actual functionally worst name for being stupidly ambiguous. it's the radiohead of latin names for organisms, at this point. more about the disambiguation for c. elegans: you said "over a hundred" in the video, but it's closer to nearly a thousand just from copying the source text from the alphabetically sorted list on the disambiguation page on wikipedia and seeing that it's 909 entries long. fun fact, some of entries are links to *further disambiguation pages*. the list of largest disambiguation pages isn't still kept up to date. apparently, it was last automatically updated in 2019. in any case the disambiguation for c. elegans had a length of 144,034 bytes, just barely less than quadruple the runner up, the disambiguation page for st. mary's church.
I love anomalocaris so fucking much seeing it in this video was an absolute jumpscare haha. Also because I’m so desensitized to the name it seems very normal to me and hence more of a jumpscare to see it in THIS video 💀 anyways I love the reason behind the name so much (paleontologists only found fossils the front limbs and mouth parts for a long time, so assumed they were different animals- the mouth a jellyfish named Peytoia and the front appendages which when fossilized look a little like headless shrimp, hence the name weird shrimp for anyone wondering). I think it’s quite a good silly name!!
For a serious contender for best Scientific name we have a recently named Ichthyosaur from Iraq called Malawania anachronus, the generic name is Kurdish for swimmer and the specific is basic Greek for displaced or incorrect time in reference to its closest relative being Ichthyosaurus itself which went extinct seventy million years earlier, put together there are a few ways to interpret this but my favorite is “The swimmer who left its time.”
cyerce elegans is my favourite c. Elegans, not funny just looks pretty. Also OMNIDENS MENTION YEAAHA super underrated cambrian goober imo, it was the biggest creature around at that time (1.5m long) and its named that because it has loads of "rows" of teeth, kinda like the sand worm from dune
I do wish you’d put some more emphasis on which names are outdated or historical names and which are the current nomenclature. Noticed this with the tassie devil as I knew its scientific name already
From Austria with love: Mantispa aphavexelte: If you speak Styrian dialect, you note that "aphavexelte" means "a vawechselte" or "a misidentified one" - which indeed, it was. Denhama aussa: Again Austrian dialect, "Den hama aussa" means "We got this one". Apparently, it took some time to identify this. Not so much love from Germany though: Delitzschala bitterfeldensis (the oldest fossil of a winged insect that we know of). Try to say this one three times in a row! By the way, Delitzsch and Bitterfeld are two small towns about 150 km Southwest of Berlin.
There is currently an effort being undertaken to assign Latin names to viruses that follow the genus-epithet formula. Might I add that having to change your habits to follow it is incredibly annoying.

I hate the Latin name for the 24-spot ladybug , Subcoccinella vigintiquatuorpunctata It's the only one in its genus and it sucks. It's entirely uncreative as Coccinella is already a genus so they kinda plagiarized that part , and then the species name is just '24 Spots'
On the List of Organisms named after Harry Potter, I found a wasp named Alastor moody, the genus was preexisting, and the specific name made on purpose to honor the Potter character Alastor Moody.

I thought Phallus impudicus means “immodest penis.” I also always thought Priapus is pronounced “PRY-a-pus.” And Priapulus would mean “little Priapus.” -ule and -ula are the diminutive suffix. Clitoria fragrans is quite fitting. That’s exactly what it looks like. Hyperborea is NOT a white supremacy thing, don’t know where you got that from. It’s a mythical far northern land from Greek mythology.
Impudicus can be translated a number of ways, immodest among them. You can pronounce it however you like, I always err semi-classical in pronunciations. And one thing I learned doing the Elementymology videos, is that often times the diminuitive is used as a noun-forming, kind of similar to how -ling is used in English, (i. e. Priapus's little one or Aspect of Priapus). I could be wrong though en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperborea#Hyperborea_in_radical_Russian_nationalist_and_neo-Nazi_imagery
