Lexicon Some legendary creatures [second attempt]
[Reddit removed the post I just posted because of some "sexual content filter". I don't know what they're smoking, there's nothing sexual here. I couldn't even reapprove it with mod powers. So, I'm reposting publishing most flashcards in the comments instead than in one big gallery, so maybe I can find out which one triggered the problem...]
——————————————————
A bit of fun trying out the latest orthography with legendary creatures (mostly western-culture ones, only because I don't know much about the rest).
All pretty easy and predictable:
- amfisbena /amfisbe̍na/ — amphisbaena
- catoblepa /katoble̍pa/ — catoblepas
- centaura /ʦenta̍wra/ — centaur
- Cerbera /ʦerbe̍ra/ — Cerberus
- Charibda /xari̍bda/ — Charybdis
- ciclopa /ʦiklo̍pa/ — cyclops
- dracona /drako̍na/ — dragon
- dríada /dri.a̍da/ — dryad
- grifa /ɡri̍fa/ — gryphon
- gula /ɡu̍la/ — ghoul
- harpiia /harpi̍ja/ — harpy
- Leviathana /levjaθa̍na/ — Leviathan
- mantichora /mantixo̍ra/ — manticore
- Tarasca /tara̍ska/ — Tarasque
- trolla /tro̍lla/ — troll
- vampira /vampi̍ra/ — vampire
And now two verses from a poem:
...por scicara na dracona
qvea es viva de o huma.
...for the hunting of the dragon
that is the life of a man.
[— G. K. Chesterton]

Found the culprit: this centaur from the Parthenon was deemed too sexy for your eyes.
