polufloisboio) sea.” Polu- is a common Greek and English prefix (as in polyglot). But
-floisboio is not so common, and much more remarkable: It strikes the ear like, well, a crashing wave or a lackluster imitation of one.

The tricky part is finding a balance when showing that creation from a single human perspective; filmmakers have to get creative to make sure these works of CGI are worth the money.
