Why Does Pike Call Grog Buddies

Why does pike call grog buddies. Isn't the term he uses for ravens an oxymoron, since pike is only black and ravens are normally brown?

"Friend" is not meant to be taken literally. The official written language (Aard) refers to Black ravens as "baen brooks," meaning "bruising brothers." I think Pike calls a raven Raven because Grog is always telling him about a Raven that saved him. It's just a nickname of "Ravenbro," who they keep locked up in Pike's quarters, since they're unruly.

That's the problem. The language that Pike uses has so many contradictions. Isn't the language where they all came from supposed to be an all knowing language? And yet one of the first things they learn... is not to speak that language? There are just so many contradictions of this language. Also, is there a reason why raven and bear were "subspecies" of manticore? That's the only thing that seems to make any sense.
