"dog's tongue"}, {Greek} arnoglossa - {Latin} agni {sc. lingua; lit. "lamb's tongue"}, {Greek} buglosa - {Latin} bovis {sc. lingua; lit. "oxtongue"}, {Greek} ippoglosa - {Latin} equi {sc. lingua; lit."horse-tongue"} etc. in that same manner.

ἀρνόγλωσσον /arnóglōsson/ - (lit. "lamb's tongue", the plant "plantain"},
βούγλωσσον /boúglōsson/ - {lit. "ox-tongue", name of a plant",
