Oh, by the way! Could any of enlightened professionals shed some light on these:
I have undertook the wonderful trip of translating C.Smart's Jubilate Agno into my native language; but it had appeared to me soon that I have set forth without the education matching the task. So now I am running across the Internet in search of information neccessary to make the translation at least reflect the magnificence of the original.
These are the questions I wanted humbly to ask here:
>
Let Raguel rejoice with the Cock of Portugal
I know that there exists some legend on account of this cock in Portugal, but I could not find out which bird it exactly is about.
>
Let Chesed rejoice with Strepsíceros, whose weapons are the ornaments of his peace...
Could this occasionally be a bird too?
>Let Hagar rejoice with Gnesion,
Is there some bird corresponding nowadays to this one mentioned in Pliny?
>Let Nahshon rejoice with the Seabreeze, the Lord give the sailors of his Spirit...
What this one may be?
>Let Ephah rejoice with Bupréstis, the Lord endue us with temperance and humanity, till every cow have her mate!...
Is this one a beetle or something else too?
>Let Eli rejoice with Leucon - he is an honest fellow, which is a rarity...
Who may be this one? Crocidura leucon or Leucon sp. (which is harder to suggest)?
>Let Pharaoh rejoice with Anatária, whom God permits to pray upon the ducks to check their increase...
Is there some bird corresponding nowadays to this one mentioned in Pliny?
>Let Atad bless with Éleos, the nightly Memorialist - eléison kýrië...
Does this one has latin name? and, if so, isn't it one of these two? and if so, which one: Aquila aleni or Ololigus lucarus?
>Let Zohar rejoice with Cýchramus who cometh with the quails on a particular affair...
Is this Pliny's bird identified?
>Let Becher rejoice with Oscen who terrifies the wicked, as trumpet and alarm the coward...
What is this? Just any Oscia, a singing bird?
>Let Shaul rejoice with Circos, who hath clumsy legs, but he can wheel it the better with his wings. -
Which circos is specifically renowned for its clumsy legs?
>Let Mibzar rejoice with the Cadess, as is their number, so are their names, blessed be the Lord Jesus for them all...
What may be this creature?
>Let Aréli rejoice with the Criel, who is a dwarf that towereth above others...
This certainly is a bird, but which one? Some kind of a lark maybe?
>Let Ábigail rejoice with the Lethóphagus - God be gracious to the widows indeed...
This one rather seems to be a fish... but there is a chance that it turns out to be a bird too.
>Let Ánanthoth bless with Saurix, who is a bird of melancholy...
???
>Let Shobab rejoice with Evech who is of the goat kind which is meditation and pleasantry...
Am I right supposing that this one is Nycticorax?
