Strictly speaking, I don't think Okrand has explicitly said that *tera' ngavyaw'* would be used to describe a Terran wolf. mayqel dislikes using that kind of assumption when he writes things. Re: the original question. If I weren't going to use *tera' ngavyaw'mey*, or my own transliteration of "wolf" (like *_wo'lIv_*), I'd probably just use *Do' **wolves **tu'lu' je*. Something like *wolf**mey* would just be awkward, though I might give it a shot if I thought I could get some good wordplay out of it.
