Etymology
The species name is derived from Latin monile (meaning necklace).[2]
gollark: Quite possibly.
gollark: I don't know. You postulated that long term memory had, so maybe.
gollark: Your undercooked pork example, as I said, does not work now because we can cook things.
gollark: I think it's reasonable to assign old "battle-tested" ideas *some* extra weight, but not just to discard innovations which do better in a bunch of areas because they aren't old.
gollark: Aren't those somewhat culturally determined too?
