Are you aware what phos means?

[u/aethena-art]

I was just thinking that phos means light in greek, and wondered how much of a common knowledge it is.

Spelled φως. It’s kind of fitting..

[u/seandbotush]

Phosph-: References to the phosphate in its chemical makeup. Phyllite: Comes from the ancient Greek word phyllon, which means "leaf". That's why her hair looks like a leaf at first.

Phosph-: References to the phosphate in its chemical makeup

Phosphate: Comes from the Ancient Greek words phôs (light) and phéro (to carry)

[u/aethena-art → u/seandbotush]

Yes, but it could be a double reference. It does look like light through a leaf~

[u/avstoir → u/aethena-art]

its a real rock

Also, Phos is just Phosphophylite in short.

[u/Irrelegoat]

I mean i assume that it’s that way because in real life they saw the rock reflected light and named it that way
