pedality
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Pronunciation: /pəˈdælɪti/
Forms: form: pedalities
Etymology: ped- (“soil”) + -ality.
Senses: examples: text: Following the ideas of the Soil Survey Manual (Soil Survey Staff, 1951), Bullock et al. (1985) recommended to describe the grade of pedality as part of the description of microstructure. Bullock et al. (1985) and FitzPatrick (1984) based for micromorphological descriptions their grading on the only criterion visible in thin sections, namely the degree to which the aggregates are surrounded by voids. Systematic comparision of micromorphological and field descriptions revealed serious discrepancies in many cases. Specially soils with a high score for pedality in the field were not evaluated as such in thin sections (Langohr, personal communication), as pedality is not only a factor of separation.

The kind lady had hardly left, when —unthankful wretch that I was!—I unpinned the pedality, and next morning restored it with my best acknowledgments of its anti-pertussian efficacy.
