[Retros] linguistic hole

[andrew at anselan.com]

I'm sorry but I don't like those. Blame my ancient math background, but I think that in terminology an <adjective><noun> should always be an example of a <noun>. Here an anticipatory Phoenix is not a Phoenix. The phrase is suggests some primacy of Phoenix over the other kind which is not accurate. The word “anticipated” is already used in our little hobby. The phrase in English is also a bit clumsy.

Dear all,

"anticipatory Phoenix" (English) and "Vorausphoenix" (German) sound good to me.

Best,

Bernd
