I don't know what to do with this word.

definition: x1 is a spider/arachnid/crustacean/crab/lobster/non-insect arthropod of species/breed x2.

notes: See also {cinki}, {danlu}.

The gismu issues page says:

jukni: Crustaceans (which include crabs & lobsters) are *not* arachnids, nor are all non-insect arthropods arachnids. Additionally, the definition needs to be clearer as to whether it refers to all arachnids or just spiders (or all non-insect arthropods, if you change it appropriately); they are not the same thing.

I think that we should go for the most general option, "x1 is a non-insect athropod ..."

phma commented 4 years ago

I think it should be restricted to chelicerates. We have {lokra} for "crustacean" (I didn't make it up, I just entered it). That leaves millipedes, centipedes, and two smaller classes of myriapods. There were also trilobites, but I see no reason for assigning them a gismu, and {trilobite} is a valid fu'ivla.
