natalensis

Latin. Rfv-sense: (relational) Christmas. --11:25, 6 December 2022 (UTC) — This unsigned comment was added by 2003:de:372e:daf4:34eb:bf4:811f:a1d6 (talk).

It should be Christmas Island rather than just Christmas (-ensis refers to places), and probably moved to the Translingual section if it's taxonomy-only. The "from Natal" sense currently under Translingual does have actual New Latin attestation (e.g. passim in this book), but from what I can dig up, the Christmas Island epithets date from the 1930s and so are probably less likely to appear in actual Latin. I also found a lone use of "Natalensium" in a medieval chronicle, referring to people from somewhere in Italy, which I don't get [1]. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 12:05, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
