so do you think it's worth adding this in then? I mean it would be a step up from "it sounds like the Japanese name".

:I personally would not add it. I don't find it all that likely, and -pnea isn't really intended to be used that way. It's usually used as a descriptive term. For example, "tachypnea" means rapid breathing. It'd be like saying, "cactus breathing", which is just . . . odd. It's more likely just intended to be similar to the Japanese name.
