On the chabal pages, Andrew Miller and I were discussing how we could say "dinosaur". We came up with 'an'or lung'a'.
A specific term for fossil animals was coined, though: SInthler.
Would dinosaur be SInthler lung'a' or lung'a' SInthler?
Also, I just figured out the pun behind this word: think of the petroleum products company, or the TV show Dinosaurs.
