11. Stegosaurus
When dinosaur bones were discovered that, when flattened as a fossil, looked like roof tiles, the name "stegosaurus" was coined.
A stegosaurus is a type of dinosaur whose plates on its spine, when flattened as a fossil, appear like roof tiles. The word for "roof" in Greek was "stegos" so the name become "stegosaurus" where "saurus" is "lizard".

12. Homeless
The prefix alpha as "α" negates the root so that the modern Greek word "άστεγη" (A-steh-gee) ≈ "homeless, poor" or those without a roof.
 
Where do rich people who are homeless live?

HouseA related meaning of the same Greek word for "roof" is that of "bearing" a load or that of "covering" something.

A roof does not actually bear a load, other than, say, rain. A roof does, however, like a deck or thatch, cover what is under that roof. Does this distinction make a difference in the following verse?
