nabouroup
Namaqua name Nabouroup for the Pale-winged Starling; ex “Nabouroup” of Levaillant 1801, pl. 91: "Je lui ai conservé le nom de Nabouroup qui est celui pour lequel les Namaquois le désignent". This is one of the many names coined originally in Levaillant 1799–1808. The naturalist François Levaillant, like the Comte de Buffon, was of the French school that rejected the Linnaean binominal system. However, unlike de Buffon, to whom he took an aversion, Levaillant was an adventurer and explorer who described his birds at first hand and not from cabinet specimens, although he was not above fabricating new species to sell his work! In his books he gave his discoveries coined French names or names selected from the local native vernacular, and it was left to later authors to perpetuate them in binominal nomenclature (Onychognathus).
