Re: pronounciation (a correction)

["Jaime Headden" <jaemei@hotmail.com>]

A correction on my earlier post:

That's "karkharos" not "carcharos" because the latter is the Latinized 
form (Greeks didn't have c's).

And because I saw a few posts about this particular word, I will 
extemporize: noto- is derived from "notus" Latin for southern, not 
"notos" Greek for the back, as in "notochord". The Romans used this word 
for the southern wind, and thus derived the meaning of anything brought 
with that wind as it blew north (like *Giganotosaurus*).
