erinaceous

[prettygoodword]

erinaceous - adj., of, pertaining to, or resembling a hedgehog.


Or, belonging to the hedgehog family. From Latin ērināceus, hedgehog. Not much more to say about it, other than I really like that it exists.

A very cool word. I'll probably never use it (possibly because I'd be afraid I'd mangle the pronunciation), but like you I'm glad it exists.

It's easy to say: er-i-NAY-shus.

Thanks. I think I actually came pretty close to that when I told Karl about it this morning. :)
