Glossary

From conversations with Lord Greystoke and from his notes, there
have been gleaned a number of interesting items relative to the
language and customs of the inhabitants of Pal-ul-don that are
not brought out in the story. For the benefit of those who may
care to delve into the derivation of the proper names used in the
text, and thus obtain some slight insight into the language of
the race, there is appended an incomplete glossary taken from
some of Lord Greystoke's notes.

A point of particular interest hinges upon the fact that the
names of all male hairless pithecanthropi begin with a consonant,
have an even number of syllables, and end with a consonant, while
the names of the females of the same species begin with a vowel,
have an odd number of syllables, and end with a vowel. On the
contrary, the names of the male hairy black pithecanthropi while
having an even number of syllables begin with a vowel and end
with a consonant; while the females of this species have an odd
number of syllables in their names which begin always with a
consonant and end with a vowel.

Gryf. "Triceratops. A genus of huge
herbivorous dinosaurs of the group
Ceratopsia. The skull had two large
horns above the eyes, a median
horn on the nose, a horny beak, and a
great bony hood or transverse crest over
the neck. Their toes, five in front and
three behind, were provided with hoofs,
and the tail was large and strong."
Webster's Dict. The gryf of Pal-ul-don
is similar except that it is
omnivorous, has strong, powerfully
armed jaws and talons instead of hoofs.
