-''Tectu'' itself doesn't have a Latin meaning, but its closest word, ''tectum'', means shelter. This could point to how the aerodentia family live in dark caves, which shelter them from the sun. ''Pervus'' also lacks a meaning, but it is fairly close to the Latin word ''parvus'', which means tiny. It is unknown how this relates to the aerodentia family, but if there has to be a meaning, it might be relating to the small size of the Phosbat and Phosbat Pod.
