i.e. the word for frog-like is ranine. I worked this out by translating frog into latin. :O

From Chambers:

ranarian: froggy

raniform: froglike

Rana is the genus of frogs but rana is a Rajput prince so the individual might take it as a compliment.

But he wanted an equine 'equivalent'.

Ugly?

Hi spacechimp. You posted while I was still typing - I wasn't trying to contradict you. Ranine isn't in Chambers . But after I had read your post I checked the OED . It is in there but as you had already posted it I didn't bother to post again. Cheers.
