Here is what I proposed:aluhin: otter, made from alu (water), and child (hin); like a child, an otter is curious and at times mischevious
utunau': curious, from utune- (to ask) and au' (again)
maan-: to look for, to search, from ma- (to look, glance) and an (long)
raathori: griffin, from raa (lion), thoron (eagle)
bavenal-: to ride, from bel- (to move), avaene (without), and dal (foot)
tadulin: grouse, from talar' (ground) and dulin (bird)
If you could approve or disapprove these words, I'd be extremely grateful. Many thanks!
