I may be missing something, but can't you just write tera' ngavyaw'mey for 'wolves'?<br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">Strictly speaking, I don't think Okrand has explicitly said that <b>tera' ngavyaw'</b> would be used to describe a Terran wolf. mayqel dislikes using that kind of assumption when he writes things.<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">Re: the original question.
