"Babirousa" is a fine Vironese name. What is a "hus". All the other 
names for animals give you an idea of what they look like or where they 
are found.

What know is that I don't know what was in Mucor's mind when at the last 
moment, as Horn is sailing away from the island, Mucor commanded Babbie 
to go with Horn.
