It's definitely either a cogsci.SE question that you should tag terminology or an english.SE question that you should tag single-word-requests. By the way, another term commonly used where you've used prototype is the adjective platonic. | |

So it mostly fits. On a side note, when I was typing this comment, rather than "bird is a word," I almost typed "the bird is the word." | |
