Nomenclature - "Like a Barbazu"; Barbazoan?

[Escheton]

Any people taking ranks in linguistics able to help me out? Looking for a 1 word term for "like a bearded devil" or "of a bearded devil"

[ezkajii]

There's always "barbazu-esque", the sort-of catch-all. I don't know that the "azu" part of "barbazu" is based on any existing language, so there's not likely to be a natural way to change it from noun to verb form.

[Valwyn]

I'm not sure where barbazu comes from, so I can't help much. At a guess, I'd say it has something to do with Latin. ("Barba" = "beard" in Spanish, which evolved from Latin.)

It sort of depends on the etymology of the words. Things that are made out of wood or look like it are "wooden" (I'm guessing Germanic roots here). Pretty similar, right? But then there's stuff like "iron" and "ferrous" (Latin is fun).

Make up a word, if you want. It's a fantasy world, it's not like anyone will go check their dictionaries. If you really want to justify the word, just say some adventurer made it up on the spot (the bard was not impressed with the princess) and it sort of stuck. You'd be surprised by how often that sort of thing happens.

[Red Fel]

I'd just call it Barbazu. Like "That's a really Barbazu thing to do." Sometimes the adjective form can be the same as the noun.

[A_S]

Barbazene.

[Duke of Urrel]

Barbazoid.

[atemu1234]

Barbazene.

I prefer this one.

[Duke of Urrel]

Barbazumorph, barbazuiform, quasi- or pseudo-barbazuvian.

EDIT: Or French: faux-barbazu, or German: Ersatz-Barbazu.

[Bad Wolf]

I'd just call it Barbazu. Like "That's a really Barbazu thing to do." Sometimes the adjective form can be the same as the noun.

Barbazu-esque sounds better.

[P.F.]

Barbazene.

I like this one too. The English adjective derived Latin names often uses the "-ine" ending, like feline, bovine, vulpine, lupine, ovine, testudine, porcine, leonine, and so on. Of course, many also simply use the "-n" ending, such as anuran, saurian, apian, vermian, or simian. You could also try vowel-shifting to make it "Barbāzuan."

[Telonius]

I'd go with "beardy."

[Eldan]

One more suggestion we haven't had is "barbatic", though that sounds terrible.
