Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

In Vayardyio conworld no such animal exists.

The closest resemblance would be tarpo.

This is an edible reptile-like species about the size of a guinea pig, that feeds on insects and lives nearby small pools and on marshy soil. Since it is slow-moving, slick and slimy it has gathered all kinds of negative connotations. Yet the taste, if fried, is delicious. It is hunted in the fall, when it has gathered fat for hibernation. There's this saying: lé tarpone sparani: to sneak out like tarpone, which means you clear the field quietly and ashamed, like when you've done something terribly stupid or having been rebuked for it :wink:

next word: delicatessen
