Re: GUMNUT: NUTTY OR GUMMY?


Yep, you're correct. Haemophilus roughly translates from Latin meaning 'blood loving'. Taken from the Haemophilus species of bacteria which is pathogenic, particularly H. influenzae.

For trivia, I use the name Haemophilus as a bit of a throwback/salute to my even nerdier past. Back before I worked in Games.

Edit - Just saw your comment saying you work on bacteria too. *aseptic high five!*

    I'm not as concerned with how the plant works as I am with how to pronounce it. According to the gentleman in the video, we are all mangling its name. The proper pronunciation is: GOOM NEWT. Please make note of this for future reference.

    And on to the other tangent. I assumed Haem's name was a reference to hemophilia - the bleeding disease caused by lack of a clotting factor in the blood.
