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 le̋uða [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 ta̋im̃a [ta̋im̃a, 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 ȝőőra [ȝőőru, 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.:
  • uf-, higher = super-
  • ner-, under = sub-
  • sup-, low = infra-
  • loi-, tiny = parv-

• This table makes use of the following ranks:

Order (O) - kőina Suborder (sO) - nerkőina

Infraorder (iO) - sufkőina

Parvorder (pO) - loikőina

Superfamily (SF) - ufða̋ma

Family (F) - ða̋ma

Subfamily (sF) - nerða̋ma

Tribe (T) - sufða̋ma

Subtribe (supergenus) (sG) - ufȝőőra

Notes

1. cpd = a compound of two or more roots, e.g., huro,"' water + mőxe, mole = hurmőxe, Russian desman.
2. drv = a word derived from a root, e.g., pűke, red fox < pűki, adj. very hairy.
3. These words are not numbered, as only original roots are numbered.
4. Names in red are those of mammals that did not exist in Sefdaania.
