Good idea, but you need to accept some additional answers. You should accept "Snatch, seize, catch, grab, etc." for "raptor" (from Latin "rapere"), and "Flesh, meat" for "carno."

Also, "homo" could mean "man" or "human" in words derived from Latin, so you should accept that as well.

In order to specify between homo in Latin and homo as a Greek term, perhaps you would want to say homo(s) and hetero(s)

I think you should accept at least some of: mime, copy, copier, copycat.

dromae is also related to a road/path. Proto means first. Para also means beside.
