appellative

Now a taxidermied water buffalo head — the ox — watches from above the bar, while the appellative bull is represented across from it in gleaming metal.

It will be seen at a glance that such appellatives are rare, by comparison, in the present day.

A common name, or appellative, stands for a whole class, genus, or species of beings, or for universal ideas.

So he can apply to himself whichever title he likes best; but whether he deserves either one or the other, depends on what he has done to merit the appellative.

This appellative is one belonging to a sacred place of pilgrimage sacred to Ayonija, whose miraculous birth was thus brought about.
