the TRIMERAL SYSTEM in BIOLOGICAL TAXONOMY - universala ...

2. Normally, these suffixes are to be used ONLY with a lone
root. If that root is (to be) linked with another root, the
eventual default suffix should invariably be dropped.

Hymenaea Himenazzo
but Hymenanthera Himenantsero
3. Default suffixes can also be used to differentiate between
compounds which would otherwise be homonymous.
Microchaetina Mikroshetinno
Microchaetana Mikroshetanno
4. The use of ordinary Uniespo-roots, as with names of pure
Latin origin, is permissible in the same situation, but using
strictly ITK-material is by far preferable.
Oculina Okulinno [okul’ = “eye”]
but Omatinno [from omat•] is to be preferred.
5. Only ONE such suffix should be used at a time, but not two
or three in a row! If the original name carries such a
combination, or may in principle give rise to it, only one of
these should be selected.
Plumatella gives either Plumatto or Plumello but not Plumattello
Valerianella gives either Valranno or Valrello, not Valrannello
6. Where the original ending is unclear or absent, the suffix –
AZZ should be chosen as representative.
Sylvia Silvazzo [from silv• = “forest, woods”]
