planowi

Planowi is a term that may appear in different contexts but does not denote a widely recognized concept on its own. In onomastics and linguistics, it can function as a surname in Polish-language contexts, where it may occur in inflected forms within a sentence or in bibliographic entries. Because Polish surnames often change form with case, the appearance of planowi in a text does not by itself identify a person.

In biological nomenclature, planowi commonly appears as a specific epithet in the binomial name of a species. It is used as a patronym, intended to honor an individual named Planow, Planów, or a similarly named person. The ending reflects Latinization rules used in taxonomy, and such epithets are governed by the relevant nomenclature codes. A species with planowi in its name thus carries an attribution to the person commemorated by the epithet.

Because planowi is not tied to a single well-known subject, references to it are typically found within a larger context, such as a taxonomic article or a biographical note about a family name. When encountered, the precise meaning depends on neighboring words: the genus in a species name, or the linguistic context in a text.
