We had those big red atlases (Atli?) with the glossy covers from over half the US states, and smaller maps for all the counties in Virginia, NC, SC, and about half of TN. Huge ass stack of em in both door panels, under each seat, and several on the back seat. My brother collected them whenever he could. I think he's still depressed he never finished his collection before giving up and finally getting a gps (only like 2 years before decent smart phone gps)
I'm pretty sure the proper form is Atlapodes.
Gonna split the difference. Atlapodii
I'm just gonna do the English thing and mix my Latin and Greek without carrying about form or origin. We can settle for Atlapodae, or Atlasae.
The singular isn't "atlus." Atlases is correct.
Nope, up thread we figured out the correct form. Atlapodii.
