hypostome

(anatomy) Any of certain mouth appendages of some insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and hydrozoa; in particular:

The ventral mouthpart plate in trilobites;

The barbed attachment structure associated with the mouthparts of parasitic arachnids (e.g. ticks);

The oral tip surrounded by tentacles in hydrozoan cnidarians.

This mode of attachment and support of the hypostome in proparian trilobites is also shown by Öpik's work (1938, and references) and by Whittington (1941b, p. 514-517) and Evitt and Whittington (1953).

As a result or these interactions, the presence of a hypostome inhibits the formation of another hypostome nearby. Removal of the hypostome causes the level of inhibition to fall; regeneration of it restores this level (Webster, 1966).

2020, Fatma El-Bawab, Invertebrate Embryology and Reproduction, Elsevier (Academic Press), page 251,
The polyps of the two observed populations of Alatina cf. moseri showed no distinct differences. […] The body of the polyp is divided into three parts: the hypostome, the calyx and a stalk region. The latter includes a basal disc and a tiny periderm beaker enveloping the pedal region. The hypostome of polyps of both populations was four-lipped (Fig. 5.33F and G), balloon-shaped and ~14%–15% of the total body length (TBL). It was not completely contractible into the body.

1989, Johannes Lang, translated by P. M. Stell, Clinical Anatomy of the Nose, Nasal Cavity and Paranasal Sinuses, page 103:

Inside of this area it is possible to identify clearly two parallel echonegative zones, which belong to the nasal cavities (choanas) and are placed on both sides of a medial structure, considerably echogenic, which corresponds to nasal bridge (Fig. 2.12.)

2006, José María Carrera, Asim Kurjak, Donald School: Atlas of Clinical Application of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology, India: Jaypee Brothers, page 14:

The bony rim of the posterior choana is located by passing the 4-mm microdebrider blade through the posterior ethmoids and into the nasopharynx. The tip of the microdebrider blade is pushed against the mucosa just above the bony choanae on the anterior face of the sphenoid.

blim

Last night I went out driving in my car. I sparked up a fat spliff of fucking soap bar. A blim-burn burned right down to my dick and while I was distracted I fucking crashed into a brick wall, the car was fucking battered. The bonnet flipped up and the windscreen shattered. You're better of smoking the green instead cause it don't blim-burn and it's better for your head.[…]Lying in your bed dropping blims on your pubes. Selling draw to your mates but it's really Oxo cubes.[…]Well anyway, I think it's better myself to lean forwards when smoking soap bar because you are less likely to blim-burn.

2003, “Soap Bar”, in The Manifesto, performed by Goldie Looking Chain:

labyrinth organ

en-noun

labyrinth organ (plural labyrinth organs)

The labyrinth organ may work a bit like a lung, but it is an entirely different solution to the problem of how to remove oxygen from air.[…]The labyrinth organ is an effective adaptation to low-oxygen habitats.

2002, Gary Elson, Oliver Lucanus, Gouramies and Other Labyrinth Fishes, page 6:

The labyrinth organ fills most of the opercular cavity and is positioned behind and above the gill chamber and extends into the suprabranchial space; hence the name suprabranchial organ.

2008, Tim M. Berra, Freshwater Fish Distribution, page 480:

Anesthesia of fish with labyrinth organs (bettas, some gouramis, etc.) should be approached with caution. Owing to the unique anatomy of the labyrinth organ (enables fish to breathe atmospheric oxygen) and the gills of these fish (thick lamellae and ecreased lamellar surface area), it is possible to "drown" the fish if an overdose of an anesthetic agent is given.

2012, Helen E. Roberts, “MS 222 Anesthesia”, in Jörg Mayer, Thomas M. Donnelly, editors, Clinical Veterinary Advisor: Birds and Exotic Pets, page 513:

tuel

When you do administer a Glister, you shall set the Horses hinder parts somewhat higher then the foreparts, and then you shall put the Glister-pipe in at his Tuel into his Fundament up to the head, and having the confection within the Bladder, wring it with a very good strength into his body. A Glister would be administred to a Horse when he is rather empty than full paunched, whether it be in the fore-noon or after-noon. Now for the retaining or holding of the Glister in the Horses body, three quarters of an hour is sufficient, of what quality soever it be. Now you are to note by the way, that as soon as the Glister is administred unto the Horses body, you must draw out the Pipe with all the gentleness that may be, and suddenly clap his tayl to his Tuel, and so hold it with your hand, without any moving or stirring of the Horse, till the Medicine hath his full time of working.

1610, Gervase Markham, Markham’s Masterpiece, London, Lib. 1, Cap. 100:

Goats when they are sucking on their dams or when they are new Kidded, will commonly have a great lax or squirt so that the ordure which cometh from them, if it be not well cleansed and taken from them, it will with their own naturalheat so bake and dry, that it will stop the Tuels, so that they cannot dung, which if it be not holpen, the Kid will dye. The cure is to cleanse the place, and open the Tuel, and then put into it an Inch or thereabout of small Candles end dipt in hony, and then anoint all the Tuel with Capons grease.

banj

Physicians and scientists appear to have been by and large consistent in their use of banj for henbane. 'AH b. Rabban at-Tabari, in the middle of the ninth century, speaks of three kinds of banj, of which the white one was in use, apparently referring to henbane.

1971, Franz Rosenthal, زهر العريش في احكام الحشيش: Haschish Versus Medieval Muslim Society, Brill Archive, page 20

Drugs feature in the Nights and other specimens of popular fiction in two contexts . First, banj (either henbane or hashish) and opium are rather naïvely called upon by the storyteller as a kind of Mickey Finn, or early form of chloroform, available for the use of villains.

Whereas when they pass down slowly deep into the soil, they replenish the springs and river sources which are of such vital importance to agriculture in the dry season But why are the Banj forests disappearing so fast?

While chir pine had better growth yield than banj oak. the dry mass in both the species increased with the increasing nutrient and moisture status of soil. Response breadth values were wider for chir pine than banj oak on each of the nutrient and moisture gradient.

1993, Proceedings of the Indian National Science Academy: Biological sciences:

Banj oak on risers also had significantly higher stem density (P<0.0001, P< 0.0001), height (P<0.0001, P<0.0001), and diameter (P=0.00324, P<0.0001) than chir pine growing on the flats and risers, repsectively. ^([sic])

Banj (Quercus leucotrichophora) is the most common oak, while chir (P. roxburghii) is the dominant pine. […] In a given watershed, chir pine generally occupies ridge tops, southern aspects and is more common in wide valleys, while banj dominates the base of slopes, northern aspects and narrow valleys.

squeeze box

Jebby rushed to the area behind the mare's paddock. What he saw there filled him with fresh concern. Isabella was in the "squeeze box." This, he knew, was a strait jacket for animals! […] He had seen the old squeeze box sitting in the field behind the hoofed animals' paddock. Zoo keepers had used it in the days before the invention of the Tranquilizer Gun for immobilizing animals when they wanted to inoculate them or treat them for illness or injury. If the squeeze box were used unwisely, a Zoo keeper had told Jebby, an animal inside it could be squeezed almost to death. And it always caused panic as the wooden sides pressed against the trapped creature's body.

1963, Ann Cottrell Free, Forever the Wild Mare, New York, N.Y.: Dodd, Mead and Company, →OCLC:

Williams and Sawyer (1995) reported on successful techniques used on a large number of otters in the rehabilitation centers during the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Restraint equipment included heavy leather welder's gloves with long sleeves, a large salmon dip net fitted with an elongated bag of soft 1-in. mesh net, a throw net, blankets, stuff bags, and some sort of squeeze box. […] The bag is quickly placed over the head, shoulders, and thorax, and the otter is held by pressing down on the bag. This is best accomplished while the otter is in the net or squeeze box with the animal on its back and the hind legs held by a second handler[…].

Incidentally, a famous wine grape brought in from the Silk Road, still being used to make wine in the Northwest, is called mare's teat (perhaps because of its shape); because in Chinese the same word is used for both "teat" and "milk," it is sometimes incorrectly rendered in English as "kumiss grape."

The disease was believed to have spread through contagion from a ship, the Hankey, that came from Bolama (then Bulam) in what is now Guinea-Bissau.
