Re: Arambougiania Citation Redux

As with _Gigantspinosaurus_, _Arambourgiana_ may not fulfill 9.9. However,
this is difficult to prove, given that (among other things) it is
hard to pin down what exactly is meant by "primarily"?
Well, does it fulfill all the other requirements?
Probably. But a publication only needs to break one of the rules in order
to be deemed invalid by the ICZN. It just so happens that some of the rules
are so vague that they are virtually impossible to apply. Article 9.9 is
one of them.
While on the topic of names, a question regarding the derivation of
_Pantydraco_. I know that "Panty" refers to Pant-y-ffynnon in Wales. But
does anyone know what "panty" means in Welsh? ("A really good time" is not
the answer I'm after.)
