[Therion] Translation doubt: what's a "clay-tree" point?

[Martin Sluka]

There is one unique source of speleological and karsological terms - vocabulary of Prof. Vladimír Panoš.

Karsologická a speleologická terminologie: výkladový slovník s ekvivalenty ve slovenštině a jednacích jazycích Mezinárodní speleologické unie (UNESCO) (angličtina, francouzština, italština, němčina, ruština, španělština)
Vladimír Panoš, 2001

Karsological and speleological terminology: explanatory dictionary with equivalents in Slovak and official languages of UIS (English, French, Italian, German, Russian, Spanish). More than 3000 terms there.

Eyplanations are only in Czech.

You may find it in libraries, but as I may say you may find the PDF version too. 

It is very big pity that UIS never used this source as base for on-line speleological vocabulary, because the digital sources still exists in Slovakia.
