posted Like the title says, I'm building an electric boat (100% solar electric) so looking for a name. What I want is a name of an electric eel of some sort and would like a local South American/African/Non-English name of some sort.
Anyone have some ideas for me?
Thanks,
Mark

What do you suppose they called the electric eel before the discovery of electricity?

Earliest and best name so far was found on an Egyptian slab (3100 BCE)and translates into "Angry Catfish" which is kinda funny and I'll use that if I can't find anything else, but Spanish can be quite a beautiful language and I was hoping there might be a cool sounding Hispanic name for an electric eel somewhere.

Just a thought!
