Subject: Re: Pan-clades, good or bad?
Another idea, built on use of pan-stems with Pan- prefixes, and crowns with Corono- prefixes, just to describe how if any clade type should have a prefix for identification purposes, they ALL should: Pan-stem clade names shall include a contained clade name with Pan- preceeding them. Crown clade names shall include a contained clade name with Corono- preceeding them. Stem clade names shall include a contained clade name with Clado- or Stirpso- preceeding them. Node clade names shall include a contained clade name with Ramoso- preceeding them. Stem-modified nodes with be a combination of stem and node prefixes, thus clade names shall include a contained clade name with Cladoramoso- preceeding them. Apomorphy-based clade names shall include a contained clade name with Morpho- preceeding them. Lineage-segment clade names shall include a contained clade name with Genu- preceeding them. Now, let's have some fun. If you want to name a clade and have it require an easy mnemonic form of a name, use the system logically and apply it to all forms of clade names for utility. I think this is the start of a new rash of possibilities. Cheers, ===== Jaime A. Headden Little steps are often the hardest to take. We are too used to making leaps in the face of adversity, that a simple skip is so hard to do. We should all learn to walk soft, walk small, see the world around us rather than zoom by it.
