I meant 417, at the margin; adding the 4 (baseline for the penultimate ratio regum) brings us up to 421.

In order to increase genus from camiknickers, should we try the XVI: https://blog.bridgemanimages.com/blog/cutting-edge-fashion-t... , the century of k-clothing?

Agreed on designori[0], but as they stand the animals are slightly problematic, for, as proposed, the sly fox seeks truth, and the brave lion camouflages its actions instead of roaring magnificently.

(prowess is all over the medi lit for bellatores; I think it's a more recent development that we may speak of le preux Souabe. Did Aramis play the designori?)

How about:

  Leopard:
    embraces externalities
    loyal to (direct) superiors
    values camouflage
    respects (brute) strength

  Crow:
    rationalises externalities
    loyal to truth (an abstraction)
    values legibility
    respects (book) smarts
Unlike the popular conception[1] of lions, leopards are known to hide and ambush (they have the spots, after all!); unlike the fox, who's easiest to encounter at dusk and dawn, crows do their thing right out in the open, in the middle of the day, and they don't care who's watching.

[I should check the Panchatantra bestiary to see if they have any suitable animals. Adult literature recognises the two strategies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthashastra#On_spying,_propag... ]

[0] could their strategies be regular? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_design#Regular_uniform_d...

[1] is this because lionesses stalk, but lions let them do the hunting? compare "ne parizh"
