Is this considered a hybrid? If not, why is iguanodon necessarily one, given that iguana is realtively well established in English, and elsewhere, and may have been lending a 'name' (Pakistan) rather than a meaning? I don't know, of course, if it was a name or a meaning being loaned, but would the bald etymology of the average dictionary show this? cheer the sunshine warrior Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Entire Thread Subject Posted By Posted Latin/Greek roots in the same word Padorak 10/15/2000 6:36 PM Re: Latin/Greek roots in the same word belMarduk 10/15/2000 11:46 PM Re: Latin/Greek roots in the same word Bingley 10/16/2000 4:26 AM Re: Latin/Greek roots in the same word paulb 10/16/2000 10:55 AM Re: Latin/Greek roots in the same word maverick 10/16/2000 12:08 PM Re: Latin/Greek roots in the same word wsieber 10/16/2000 1:13 PM Re: Latin/Greek roots in the same word belMarduk 10/16/2000 9:38 PM Re: Latin/Greek roots in the same word wsieber 10/17/2000 5:35 AM Re: Latin/Greek roots in the same word RhubarbCommando 10/18/2000 9:35 AM Re: Latin/Greek roots in the same word shanks 10/19/2000 7:19 AM Re: Latin/Greek roots in the same word Avy 10/22/2000 3:16 AM Re: Latin/Greek roots in the same word FishonaBike 10/20/2000 7:21 PM Re: Latin/Greek roots in the same word Bingley 10/23/2000 4:33 AM Re: Latin/Greek roots in the same word Max Quordlepleen 10/23/2000 4:49 AM Re: Latin/Greek roots in the same word Bingley 10/24/2000 4:25 AM Re: Latin/Greek roots in the same word FishonaBike 10/23/2000 1:55 PM Re: Latin/Greek roots in the same word shanks 10/23/2000 2:10 PM Re: Latin/Greek roots in the same word FishonaBike 10/23/2000 9:25 PM Re: Latin/Greek roots in the same word NicholasW 12/18/2000 1:42 PM Re: Latin/Greek roots in the same word Bingley 12/19/2000 4:39 AM Re: Latin/Greek roots in the same word NicholasW 12/18/2000 1:43 PM Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
