Made up tarantula names in Latin

[BoyFromLA]

I don’t know. Maybe I was just bored.

I used Google Translate, and came up with new made up tarantula name in Latin.

And here it is:



Semper manducans.

Ta da!

It’s a non burrowing terrestrial eating always tarantula.

 

[The Seraph]

Devorandum vitea: Devour life. Garbage disposal.
Umbralis vesperiam: Not technically latin names but they are based off of latin words that I fancied up. Means Shade of the evening.
Subterra aeterna: Underground eternal. Pet hole.

 

[Patherophis]

Subterra aeternus

aeternA !

 

[The Seraph]

aeternA !

I have heard multiple translations, except for that one. Thank you though, I will keep it in mind.

 

[The Grym Reaper]

My Brachypelma hamorii shall henceforth be known as Ira aeterna

 

[Patherophis]

I have heard multiple translations, except for that one. Thank you though, I will keep it in mind.

It’s the same word, nominative forms aeternus aeterna aeternum. In both latin language and scientific nomeclature there must always be agreement in gender, and (sub)terra is well known feminine (e.g. common combinations as terra incognita or terra nova).

Nocte bestia - "night beast"

Somnum exterreri - "nightmare"

 

[Minty]

Avarus crassus - My T stirmi

 

[Patherophis]

Nocte bestia - "night beast"

Latin lesson #2
In both language and nomenclature, noun goes in front of adjective (participle, another noun in genitive ...).
Why did You use ablative?
Possible translations of "night beast" are bestia nocturna, or less common bestia noctis (with use of genitive, literally "beast of the night").

Thank you for this! I just used Google Translate, which apparently doesn't know much about Latin either

Despite some recent improvements, Google Translate still sucks in case of less common languages and ones with comlicated grammar, Latin being both. Not sure if it is thing elsewhere, but here jokes and remarks about its (in)accuracy are quite common.

@Patherophis i was referring to my T in particular and how she is ALWAYS walking around her enclosure and how she’s so beastly sized

 

[Moakmeister]

Atra morsus - terrible bite.

Wait, the S calceatum already exists. Nevermind.

Sorry, I am not confused by what You wanted to say, but by the use of word penatibus which as far as I know has no relation with word wandering.

Atra morsus - terrible bite.

Have You read my posts ? Agreement in gender, word order.
You can use morsus ater, although ater is usually used in its literal meaning "black", so better would be morsus horribilis or less common morsus terribilis (btw. we got here three nice examples of masculine adjectives with different endings than -us ).
