    la poi matryblo ku'o kutytutplu be fi lo xamsi
    I thought of "sudytutplu", but seas are not dry.

    la fyrelrel.jaicipn.
    Not sure that's right. "jgari" means "hold"; I want to say "grab".

    "raptor" comes the Latin rapere which I would translate as vlile'a

    Noting that, according to Wikipedia, the last parts of those designations
    are not generally translated, I'd lean toward {la poi matryblo ku'o
    .o,ueisys. yv. dys. siz.}, {la fyrelrel. raptr.} , {la kuburyr. nacnl.} in
    speech. In writing I'd be more inclined to wrap a {la'o zoi ... zoi} around
    them & tag them with {goi ko'a}.

    I realize that first one is ugly. {.o,uesys .ydysíz.} or whatever.
