A compound containing any other element, even if called a terpene in the sources, belongs under “terpenoid” (Q426694). Use the narrowest matching subclass (“monoterpene”, “sesquiterpene”, etc.) rather than this class.'}[20].

Związek zawierający jakikolwiek inny pierwiastek, nawet jeśli w źródłach nazywany terpenem, należy do „terpenoidów” (Q426694). Wybieraj najwęższą pasującą podklasę („monoterpeny”, „seskwiterpeny” itd.), a nie tę klasę.'}[21].
