Gastrop• for Gastropoduloj (Gastropodidae)<br />

Fanerog• for Fanerogamuloj (Phanerogamae)<br />

1. This abbreviated form has to be marked by a capital letter<br />

at <strong>the</strong> beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g and a po<strong>in</strong>t at <strong>the</strong> end, preferably by a<br />

midway dot as used <strong>in</strong> ma<strong>the</strong>matics. The normal number<br />

of syllables goes from one to four, although exceptions<br />

may occasionally occur to avoid homonymy.<br />

Fag• for Fageskoj Fagales<br />

Abi• for Abieskoj Abietacea<br />

1. All characters are pronounced as <strong>the</strong>y are written, and<br />

written as <strong>the</strong>y are pronounced, whatever <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

position<strong>in</strong>g, whatever speech sound comes before or<br />

after. 8 So <strong>the</strong> antique C and Q(ue) are gone —<br />

supplanted by ei<strong>the</strong>r S or K or TS.<br />

Consequently, no more variations of <strong>the</strong> sort: sutchuenensis,<br />

setchuenensis, szechuanensis, szechwanensis, setchwanensis,<br />

szechuenensis... but uniformly and simply: setshwanuja.<br />

[The suffix -U J stands for “land, region”]<br />

8 Uniespo also provides a system for transliteration of names from non-<br />

Lat<strong>in</strong> alphabets, called “Universala Skribo” (Universal Writ<strong>in</strong>g).
