| Remarks | Name used in aquarium trade in Hawaii. 'eel', from Middle English 'ele', from Old English 'ael', akin to Old High German 'al', i.e., eel (p. 397, Ref. 11978); 'black', from Old English 'blæc', of obscure origins but probably related to Latin 'flagrare' and Greek 'phlégein', i.e., burn, from Indo-European 'phleg-, bhleg-' (p. 65 in Ref. 11979). |
