REGULAR PREFIXES

Usually, they imply color. However, sometimes they may include size or coat texture. When possible, the descriptions match European items (but if that's impossible, I try to use the best-known kind), so I may not have every possibility listed. Most of these names are subjective to location.

If there's a word that doesn't sound like it should be a word, chances are it's a bird or plant!
