Brevitertius...AGAIN!

["Tommy Bradley" <htomsirveaux@mybluelight.com>]

Hi everybody,
I?m still having a difficult time trying to figure out the English
translation of ?brevitertius.?

Jaime A. Headden said:
>Actually, "brevitertius" comes from the Latin adverb, _breviter_,
meaning "shortly; >briefly"; we get "brevity" from this. A short period,
length, duration, extent, etc., >probably in reference to the smallish size
of this particular ornithomimosaur; similarly, >_brevitas_ for "in brief"
or "shortness".

Therefore, if breviter means ?Shortly,? does brevitertius mean ?Shortened?
or ?shorter??

Ray McAllister said:
>brevitertius literally means a short third?

So I?m not the only one who thought it had something to do with a shortened
third something-or-other.

Oh and I STILL have no clue who D. samueli is honoring.

Can anyone help?
