Lucernaria[edit]

Lucernarium (sing.) is another word for vespers, with a connection to lux, lucis, the light, which is fading at day's end. What's the connection with Lucernaria? Plural? --Wetman (talk) 23:12, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm don't know, I'm afraid. The genus was named by Otto Friedrich Müller in his 1776 work, the text of which doesn't appear to be on-line. Google isn't being too helpful either. One could speculate that they're reminiscent of candelabra and maybe you get something light-related from that? Potentially a very interesting connection, though. I'd love to know why.

OK, scratch that. I've just found an on-line version of the book. It says, concerning L. quadricornis "Corpore elongato tortili, brachiis quatuor dichotomis, apice tentaculatis. In Fuco (f?/s?)accharino." My Latin is very rusty but the first sentence looks like a straightforward description of the animal. I'm not too sure about the second sentence but it doesn't look like an explanation for the name. An ~~later~~ earlier work of his available here in English translation doesn't shed any more light.
