“Uh-huh.” I pointed at the device. “And that’s a cell phone.”\\
He looked back at it, then at me. “Is it, though?”\\
“The technical name in Galard is ''rshthalansh'', which approximately translates to ‘personal communication thing you carry in your pocket,’ which more accurately translates as ‘cell phone.’” I gave the device a little nudge closer to the clerk. “And you guys jail-break cell phones.”

-> But at least it hadn't been hard to give the species a name. It looked like an enormously smaller version of a "hexapuma", and like the hexapuma, there was something very (or perhaps inevitably) ''feline'' about it. Of course, Stephanie knew "feline" actually referred only to a very specific branch of Old Terran evolution, but it had become customary over the centuries to apply Old Terran names to alien species (like the Sphinxian "chipmunks" or "near-pine"). Most claimed the practice originated from a sort of racial homesickness and a desire for familiarity in alien environments, but Stephanie thought it was more likely to stem from laziness, since it let people avoid thinking up new labels for everything they encountered. Despite all that, however, she'd discovered that "treecat" was the only possible choice when she started considering names, and she hoped the taxonomists would let it stand when she finally had to go public with her discovery, though she suspected rather glumly that her age would work against her in that regard.
