Senjecas Tax. Arthropoda

Introduction

• In the Sefdaanian cultures, each individual is a member of a hierarchy of communities. The Ethrans have used this hierarchy as a pattern for their classification of life forms.

1. The individual is, first of all, a member of one of the six Loquent Peoples. The largest of the taxonomic communities is that of the leudha (< le̋uðu, people). Thus, there are "animal people" and "plant people". This division corresponds to "kingdom" in modern taxonomy.
2. Next, the individual lives in one of the seven regions (watersheds) of Sefdaania. This division, the ta̋iɱa (< ta̋iɱa, region), corresponds to "class" in modern taxonomy.
3. Within the several regions, the individual lives in a commune. This division, the kőina (< kőino, commune), corresponds to "order" in modern taxonomy.
4. Each commune is comprised of a number of families. This division, the ða̋ma (< ða̋mu, family), corresponds to "family" in modern taxonomy.
5. Within the family, the individual is usually one of several siblings. This division, the ȝǫ̋ra (< ȝǫ̋ru, sibling), corresponds to "genus" in modern taxonomy.
6. And finally there is the individual himself. This division, the še̋ða (< še̋ðu, individual), corresponds to "species" in modern taxonomy.

• Finer divisions can be made with the use of prefixes, e.g.:

1. uf-, higher = super-
2. ner-, under = sub-
3. sup-, low = infra-

• This table makes use of the following ranks:
  • subphylum (superclass) (sP) – ufta̋iɱa
  • class (C) – ta̋iɱa
  • subclass (sC) - nerta̋iɱa
  • superorder (SO) – ufkőina
  • order (O) – kőina
  • suborder (sO) - nerkőina
  • infraorder (iO) – sufkőina
  • superfamily (SF) – ufða̋ma
  • family (F) - ða̋ma
  • subfamily (sF) - nerða̋ma
  • tribe (infrafamily) (T) – sufða̋ma
