I think, maybe we just need to make a [[jbocre: Mythology|Mythology]] section of the Wiki, and start snarfing in all the words from [http://www.pantheon.org/ ncyclopedia Mythica] so that they can be worked on together, instead of separately. (I see a problem with working on them separately, because its harder to notice that maybe myth-reptile could collide with some other things. (The Encyclopedia's [http://www.pantheon.org/areas/bestiary/ estiary] would be a very good place to start.) --[[jbocre: Jay Kominek|Jay]]
