kif

From Moroccan Arabic كيف (kīf, “opiate”), from Arabic كَيْف (kayf, “joy”).

The kief, which is the flower and seeds of the plant, is the strongest, and a pipe of it half the size of a common English tobacco-pipe, is sufficient to intoxicate.

1809, James Grey Jackson, chapter VIII, in An Account of the Empire of Marocco:

I perceived the odour of kif, and recognised the voices of Selam the Second, Abd-el-Rhaman, and others; it was an Arab orgie in full swing.

1882, Edmondo de Amicis, translated by C. Rollin-Tilton, Morocco: Its People & Places:

The trade goods – Persian rugs, salt, muskets, kif – trailed out behind them over the dunes, still lashed to the backs of rotting animals.

1982, TC Boyle, Water Music, Penguin, published 2006, page 80:

[…]then hung around the special Silver-Key-Members’ Lounge with the other ladies[…]smoking kif and making extremely delicate and oblique fun of their husbands’ sexual idiosyncrasies, […]

‘Some taxi driver, a Maghrebian…he suddenly swerved. They smoke kief, you know.’

2000, JG Ballard, Super-Cannes, Fourth Estate, published 2011, page 52:

Kif melts the brain; dexemyl sharpens the edges. (Kif makes you drift—makes you forget what someone said a minute before–hard to follow a long story or joke, […])

2012, Susan Sontag, “9/5/65 Tangier, Tetouan”, in edited by David Rieff, As Consciousness Is Harnessed to Flesh, Farrar, Straus and Giroux:

A kind of cannabis smoked in Morocco and Algeria, for narcotic or intoxicating effect.

/sɪˈɹɪnd͡ʒiːz/

Learned borrowing from Latin sȳrinx (“reed; reed pipe, panpipes”), from Ancient Greek σῦριγξ (sûrinx, “panpipes; pipe-shaped object”), from Pre-Greek. Doublet of syringe.
The plural form syringes is a learned borrowing from Latin sȳringes.

der

This tube is named the Windpipe, Trachea, or Aspera-arteria; […] its lower extremity, or the part at which it bifurcates, is the Lower Larynx, or the Syrinx. Besides acting as a pipe to the lungs, it is also the organ of the voice, the air in passing through it causing its membranes so to vibrate, and being so acted upon by the muscles attached to it, as to give rise to the various cries and notes emitted by birds, although the palate, the tongue, and the mandibles also operate in modifying the sounds thus produced.

1839, William MacGillivray, “Practical Ornithology. Fifth Lesson.”, in A History of British Birds, Indigenous and Migratory: […], volume II (Cantatores, Songsters), London: […] [W. Burness] for Scott, Webster, and Geary, […], →OCLC, page 19:

The role of the syrinx in psittacine sound production is still under examination, and probably differs from that of songbirds. […] For species with relatively simple syringes but complex vocal behavior (such as Grey parrots), these data imply that other structures must modify syringeal output.

1999, Irene Maxine Pepperberg, “How Does a Grey Parrot Produce Human Speech Sounds?”, in The Alex Studies: Cognitive and Communicative Abilities of Grey Parrots, Cambridge, Mass.; London: Harvard University Press, published 2002, →ISBN, page 293:

The primary sound-producing organ in a bird is the syrinx and the secondary system aiding sound production consists of the larynx, mouth, tongue and laryngeal muscles. […] Birds vocalise by expelling air over the elastic membranes of the syrinx housed within the inter-clavicular sac, an air sac in the pleural cavity.

2007, Gisela Kaplan, “Emotions, Vocal Behaviour and Communication”, in Tawny Frogmouth (Australian Natural History Series), Collingwood, Melbourne, Vic.: CSIRO Publishing, →ISBN, page 121:

The organ responsible for producing sounds during song is the syrinx, located where the trachea joins the bronchi of the two lungs[…]. Four to six muscles on either side are attached to the syrinx, and sound is produced when air is expelled through it. The flow of air induces part of the syrinx wall to vibrate and generate sound, in a similar way to the operation of the human larynx.

2010, Peter Simmons, David Young, “Nerve Cells and Animal Signalling: Songs of Crickets, Electric Fish and Birds”, in Nerve Cells and Animal Behaviour, 3rd edition, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire: Cambridge University Press, →ISBN, page 247:

The omasum is a spherical organ filled with muscular laminae (an estimated 90 to 130 in the bovine omasum) that lie in sheets, much like the pages of a book (giving the omasum its colloquial name, book stomach).

2018, Anna Dee Fails, Christianne Magee, Anatomy and Physiology of Farm Animals, Wiley Blackwell, page 385:

The role of the omasum is not entirely clear. The organ fills with very fluid digesta leaving the reticulo-rumen, but omasal contents are very dry and tightly compacted. Clearly, fluid absorption takes place in the omasum and in cattle, water, electrolytes and VFA^([volatile fatty acids]) are absorbed.

2019, Philip Hynd, Animal Nutrition, CSIRO Publishing, unnumbered page:

Finally, grazers, with the higher fluid throughput through the reticulorumen, require larger omasa (Table 4.6)—with the main function of omasa being the resorption of fluid, to prevent too diluted digesta reaching the sites of auto-enzymatic digestion (Clauss et al. 2006).

2012, Georgia E. Lesh-Laurie, Chapter 5. Expression and Maintenance of Organismic Polarity, Allison L. Burnett (editor), Biology of Hydra, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich (Academic Press), pages 160-161,
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.
