ah, so "vark" is much like "dog" in english when it is used in animal names like "prairie dog"!

thanks for explaining!

I was gonna say "pig-wolf" sounds kind of goofy but it is actually pretty precise in behavioral desciption then isn't it?

Should be noted that "aard" means "ground/earth"

Interesting, doesn't ard also mean "ground/earth" in Arabic? Maybe one of those words that made into the indo-german languages by the Arabic conquest?
