Comment #1: Word choice
Curtis W Franks (Wed Feb 12 03:20:48 2014)

Why not "(c)lutrinai" or something of the like? Not that I am hating on
it. :)

Because
“lutrinai” = “lu trinai” = “lu trina zei natmi” and
“clutrinai” = “culno zei trina zei natmi”.

Latin name is "lutra", a gimvla u'i.
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Carnivora
Family: Mustelidae
Subfamily: Lutrinae

It just occurred to me that we don't have them in the dict.
.animalias., xordata, mamalias, karnivora, mustlida ?
This mixing cmevla and non-cmevla would be an arbitrary choice. Where is
the border when we need to stop cmevla-izing taxons?
The quickest answer is that everything below species is definitely a cmene
(jutsi2).
Should we map class Mammalia to mabru and Animalia to danlu?

I vote yay. Likewise for Plantae, Fungi, etc.

Do not forget the domains of Eukaryota, Bacteria, Archaea (arxaia?), and
the superdomain of the latter two (prokaryota?)!

danlu is not glossed as Animalia. It can be even bacteria imo. Probably
I'll avoid mapping the practicists' taxonomy onto the biological one. I
think I'll agree with mabru.

Just for the record, I knew that those words decomposed that way; I quoted
it because I did not want to think to much about how to transcribe the
basic word more properly into Lojban, but I still wanted to raise the
point concretely.
