*Bonks head on desk and laughs* Now I see why MORE 411 is as confusing as too little.

All I mean is: the name for ALL human/horse hybrids is centaur. The 'kind of thing' name for ALL asteroid/comet hybrids is Centaur - as in "We found a new Centaur in the sky last night!"

They were going for a halfX/halfY thing. When a type of thing is named after another type of thing what is the term of rhetoric for that. OR IS THERE ONE!!! I'd bet there is.

Thanks for link, but NO there are NO personal names involved in my question.
