Gladius/ensiform will go nicely with cattus/feline.
What's this "ensis" nonsense? Everyone knows the Latin for sword is "gladius", and that the more natural Latin-derived word must therefore be gladiate.Just sayin' ..
Total chaos, as usual! Isn't English wonderful?
Some of the entries at http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ensiform actually give xiphoid as a definition; for some reason our language has ended up with a Latin- and a Greek-derived word for the same thing.
What, like xiphoid?
Sword-shaped.
