What do you think some of the strangest prefixes/suffxies that have been used?
They can be canon or ones that people have come up with/ones you've used yourself.
For me, the strangest prefixes I've used were Turnip-, Burnt- and South-.
Canon-wise, I always found Whorl- and Furze- to be strange. Unique, but strange.

Like I pointed out before, Down- can make sense because it refers to feathers.
Elder- is definitely strange, considering there's a rank known as "Elder"... though this has been pointed out so many times.

Whorl. What does that even mean? These definitions are the only ones that make sense: ZOOLOGY each of the turns or convolutions in the shell of a gastropod or ammonoid mollusk. BOTANY a set of leaves, flowers, or branches springing from the stem at the same level and encircling it. BOTANY (in a flower) each of the sets of organs, especially the petals and sepals, arranged concentrically around the receptacle. (From Google)

Whorl. What does that even mean? I was very confused to this as well. I looked it up, and this was the top noun definition: a pattern of spirals or concentric circles. He's decribed as a grey-and-white tom, so maybe he could have marbled tabby patterns on the gray parts of his fur?

Hound- Haven- Crouch- Slight- Moon-/-moon Snook- Elder- Hill- Sneeze- Heavy- Song- Whisker- Whorl- Spark- Pool-(Not that bad, but I think it works better as a suffix) Bloom- Midge- Sleek- Strike-(Works better as a suffix) Bluebell-(I like it but it's too long) Marigold-(Same thing as Bluebell) Lynx-(I love, love, love this prefix, but THERE ARE NO LYNXES IN ENGLAND! The only thing I found about them is that they are extined there.) Wolf-(Same as Lynx-) -snout -bush -thistle

Amber - An interesting list. I find that the longer prefixes usually should be accompanied by shorter suffixes to keep them form being such a mouthful. Like, Bluebellheart or Marigoldfur. They are harder to say, though, due to length.
i misread snook as shnook and immediately thought of Looney Tunes

@battlingfear That's true. Marigoldheart does have a nice ring to it. And I like Bluebellfoot/fur/heart. So that does make sense by using a shorted suffix.
