Me: The “pter” in pterodactyl is the same as the one in helicopter.
What we have here is a dactyl that pters and a helico that also pters.
I name them, Pterhelico and Dactylopter.
I didn’t know that that p was silent. Unless its not and its a word play like when Douglas Adams compares the flying abilities of ships to those of bricks?
The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don’t
Funny thing, pterodactyl is based on the two Greek words for wing/feather and finger.
Wing/feather:ftero, finger:dactylo
So the p should have been an f
The p is definitely meant to be silent
Well, at least in english
