"Green-Eyed"

Shakespeare used "green-eyed monster". Right, please?
If yes, then it is an idiom/phrase/expression:

"the green-eyed monster"
Jealousy. The phrase comes from the Shakespeare play Othello.

"green-eyed monster"
Jealousy, as in Bella knew that her husband sometimes succumbed to the green-eyed monster.
This expression was coined by Shakespeare in Othello (3:3), where Iago says: "O! beware, my lord, of jealousy; it is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on." It is thought to allude to cats, often green-eyed, who tease their prey.

"the green-eyed monster"
jealousy. literary

Green is traditionally the colour of jealousy, as shown in the previous
idiom green with envy and in this one, where the green-eyed monster is jealousy personified. This expression is a quotation from Shakespeare 's Othello, where Iago warns: ‘O! beware my lord of jealousy; It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock The meat it feeds on’.

So, it is not a word, please.

Their physical formation of their mouths and brains is different. they have their own language though. a wolf for example has large mouth with big teeth so their words can't be the same as our words.
Does one mean that the animals are as eloquent in speech as the humans?

_______________
A talking animal or speaking animal is any non-human animal that can produce sounds or gestures resembling those of a human language. Several species or groups of animals have developed forms of communication which superficially resemble verbal language, however, these are not defined as language because they lack one or more of the defining characteristics, i.e. grammar, syntax, recursion and displacement. Researchers have been successful in teaching some animals to make gestures similar to sign language. However, these animals fail to reach one or more of the criteria accepted as defining language.
Talking animal - Wikipedia
To really count as talking, the animals would have to understand what they mean.
Can any animals talk and use language like humans?
Communication is usually inbuilt. A young creature doesn’t need to learn how to communicate from its parents. For instance, a cat doesn’t teach her kitten how to purr when its happy or hiss when its angry. A dog doesn’t need training to wag its tail when it’s happy, or to bark. Similarly, in humans, we shout out in pain or fear. This is innate behavior and doesn’t require teaching. However, our talking is something we do learn. We learn different languages from our parents, or from other humans.

"What do you mean by "natural language"?"

In neuropsychology, linguistics, and the philosophy of language, a natural language or ordinary language is any language:
  • that has evolved naturally in humans
  • through use and repetition
  • without conscious planning or premeditation.
I disagree. A natural language is the language we use to think. The definition you give is wrong, in my opinion.

Kindly identify:
  • such person's name
  • and his claim
  • the word/s he claims to have invented/created
  • and the natural language or ordinary language, please

I might regret asking this, but.....

What do you mean by "natural language" and "ordinary language"?
What's the difference? Can you give an example of both and explain the difference in label?

Actually, every word you can think of, was invented by someone.
But nobody could name a person who had claimed to have invented a word of a natural language. Right, please?
