is there multiple words for mole, or multiple species and a generic word? trying to translate an oc’s name (Palemole) and coming up with Olurrbosgo (pale + european mole)

That's kind of the point lmao. If you're speaking Hindi, the word for bread is Naan. Ask for naan in New Delhi and they won't give you an american-style breadroll. If you're speaking Clanmew, the word for mole is Bosgo. Ask for Bosgo they will give you Bosgo.

If there was a Clan that was dealing with different species of mole with different behaviors, they may create new terms if need be. But there's one species of mole in the Clan cats' home and it's the European Mole, so Bosgo simply means that

#European Moles do act a bit differently than American Moles too #A very amusing phrase to me is 'make a mountain out of a molehill' #Makes perfect sense to me because american moles in this region Don't make huge hills #So like... yeah bro don't make a mountain out of it. It dozen madder. #But then I saw what european moles can do and it was like Ah. Yeah. Actually I do think I would make a mountain out of that #But if you airdropped a shipment of BB cats into america they would probably just use Bosgo for whatever mole they saw #Until there was a need to distinguish species. If there are any #Naan Bread. Torpenhow Hill. Cob Spider. Lake Loch Ness. Same idea
