Saithanic - Botanical taxonomy and plant systematics

Purpose

This file develops a Saithan taxonomy for the plant world of Naar. It serves as a scholarly counterpart to the Veyrathi - Plant Register Naars and determines how botanical texts are classified in archives, educational institutions, nature registers and state records.

Botanical principles

Saithan botany does not classify plants in Naar primarily according to terrestrial characteristics such as flowers, wood hardness or dry seeds, but according to the following axes:

Fabric architecture: mat, fronde, screen, fiber trunk, runner, storage column
Water regime: permanently wet, tidal active, brackish, periodically flooded, saturated with fog
Degree of symbiosis: purely plant-like growth versus fungal-plant storage and umbrella bodies
Reproductive medium: spore film, seminal vesicle, fruiting body, secretion or umbrella chamber
Ecological role: primary carpet, shallow water flora, storage organism, fiber tree, fragrant or fruit plant

Main classes of the Naar system

1. `Drenkvraethmorkein`

Mat and carpet plants. This class includes the tomentose, algae-like and lichen-like regenerating primary producers Naars. They cover mud, banks, rock, moorland and flood plains.

2. `Saivvraethmorkein`

Aquatic and shallow water plants. This class includes frond plants, ribbon leaf lines, floating leaf coverts and bladder forms, whose life cycle is closely tied to lagoons, inland seas, deltas and shallow lakes.

3. `Solkvraethmorkein`

Symbiotic storage plants. This class classifies fungal-plant storage bodies, columnar forms and umbrella symbioses with high water and nutrient binding.

4. `Sorkvraethmorkein`

Fibrous and crown-forming plants. This class includes the wet forest forms of Naar: soft fibrous trees, aerial root supports and vine-supported crown systems.

5. `Brimvraethmorkein`Marginal and high specializations. This class organizes color-, resin-, fruit-, and spore-focused plant lineages tied to threshold biomes, seasonal intensive zones, or specialized interactions with animals.

Typical technical formulas

Vraethum vraethskaivethis skaivek. = The flora is arranged taxonomically.
Drenkvraethmorkein vraethmorkeinath esk. = Mat plants are considered a large botanical class.
Faurthskor faurthethis vraethein skaivek. = The fruit and spore order organizes families according to the reproductive carrier.
Sorkvraethskor oarvethen norvainis esen. = The fiber forest order was derived from habitat relations.

Effect on loanwords and registers

Veyrathi often adopts the family names and everyday members such as drenel, thulen, kulen or shavel.
Saithanic remains primarily responsible for classification, herbaria, natural registers, study scripts and scholarly discussions.
The mixed form of Veyrathi naming and Saithan taxonomy corresponds to the general language distribution of the project: everyday life in Veyrathi, systematics in Saithan.
