A recent edition of the TV programme Countdown announced undinal as a valid English word, being an adjective derived from undine, a water spirit. But it does not appear in my Oxford English dictionary, nor any similar Latin dictionaries (except as unda - a wave), nor the SCrabble dictionary or any other according to Wordnik (this page). Etymology apparently stems from the 16th or 17th Century Latin coinage.
