[edit] Pentalagus

What does the -lagus suffix mean in Greek?? (I know penta- means 5, so this must mean 5 of something.) Georgia guy 00:21, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

It means "Rabbit", not sure why there would be five of them... Kappa 09:47, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
It could simply be that the author of Pentalagus wasn't feeling very creative and it was the fifth -lagus he named, or the fifth new species for him that year, etc. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:08, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
