The rat...person would call themselves a word in their language that would translate to man language as "hu-rat". the man would thus be a man-rat.

But the human calls the rat-person a ratman because they seem to be something between a human and a rat. The human would call a regular rat a rat. Why would the rat-person call the human a man-rat, if the human is a regular human? Who would he call man then?
