Why? Oh I see, you wrote it with only one l. Got it.

A two-l llama would be politically correct, because we haven't had an
animal from South America yet. I think all other continents were already
covere, correct me if I'm wrong. Aalthough the Jackalope is a fictional
animal, but so is the country where it was invented. *g*

8/11 adjectives end on y. But I don't consider that a criterium.
Starting with breezy, the adjectives are very interesting. They describe
a property of the animal that is hoped to be reflected in the
distribution. Now I'm going somewhere where I don't feel comfortable
because English is not my native language (it's my third language, after
Dutch and French). I think "lucent" fits in the same category of
adjectives as feisty, gutsy, intrepid,... (by the way my server is also
called intrepid, but it is a debian, and it's named after a class of
Star Trek starships)

These are just some random thoughts I wanted to share. Sorry for posting
a non-technical message on a technical list.
