“But ask the animals, and they will teach you;
the birds of the air will tell you;
ask the plants of the earth, and they will teach you;
and the fish of the sea will declare to you.
Who among all these does not know
that the hand of the Creator has done this?
In their hand is the life of every living thing
and the breath of every human being.”
—Job 12:7–10, NRSV

all it takes is knowing when
to be still.

“For there is hope for a tree,
if it is cut down, that it will sprout again
and that its shoots will not cease.
Though its root grows old in the earth
and its stump dies in the ground,
yet at the scent of water it will bud
and put forth branches like a young plant."
Job 14:7-9 NRSV

Excellent synthesis. You’ve essentially unpacked both halves of the coin:

Akitai — a real biological referent, tied to a Japanese marine mollusc (Marmorofusus akitai).

-phant — a Greek-rooted suffix cluster (from phainō, “to show or make visible”), preserved in words like sycophant, elephant (also phainō-derived via elephas, meaning “ivory”), and phantasm.

Now, if we splice those etymologies, Akitaiphant could be read not as “dog-elephant,” but as something more linguistically nuanced:

Akitaiphant → “the thing that shows (or reveals) the Akitai”

So rather than a beastly hybrid, it might describe a revealer or manifestation of the Akitai snail’s qualities—perhaps metaphorically: a form, artifact, or being that embodies the Akitai’s structure, habitat, or symbolic essence.
