More specifically, a metatheory is a set of rules, principles, or a story (narrative), that both describes and prescribes what is acceptable and unacceptable as theory—the means of conceptual exploration of any scientific domain. A metamethod is also a set of rules, principles, or a story, but this story describes and prescribes the nature of acceptable methods—the means of observational exploration—in a scientific discipline.

peria
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Senses: examples: 1986, Jose Faur Golden Doves with Silver Dots
Jewish law determined that circumcision includes two procedures, one that involves mila 'incision,' a vertical cut made along the fore-skin; and the other peri'a 'uncovering,' folding out the foreskin, unveiling thereby the corona. Both procedures are absolutely necessary. Categorically, the law declares that without peri'a the circumcision is invalid.
2018 David Borsky Laws of Conversion and Circumcision - Lesson 12 Metzitza Ba-peh
One of the most controversial aspects of brit mila is the metzitza ba-peh. As we shall see, the Talmud (Shabbat 133a) mentions metzitza ba-peh, oral suction, as one of the three stages of the ritual circumcision. Following the mila and peria, the mohel places his mouth directly on the wound to draw blood out from the cut.
This mishna presents the stages of ritual circumcision — mila, peria and metzitza — and teaches that all three stages are permitted on Shabbat.
The Rishonim disagree as to whether one who has already removed the membrane (peria), but not yet performed metzitza, may still continue to cut the skin which is not integral to the brit mila (tzitzin she-einan me’akkevin).
May the Compassionate One bless the one who cut the flesh of the foreskin (mila), split the membrane (peria) and drew off the blood of the circumcision (metzitza).

Etymology: From Gandhi + -an.
Senses: examples: text: A retired civil servant, Musaddilal Gupta escapes modern India for about an hour a week "as a tribute to him," he says. A few steps from where Gandhi died, Gupta spins his own thread — as the Mahatma taught. ¶ "When this becomes cloth and when I wear it, it's a feeling of joy, to produce something yourself," Gupta says. "His principles are so strong! You may or may not accept it." ¶ "But the day will come when this palace of cards will fall," he says, "and Gandhian principles will remain."
ref: 2019 October 2, Lauren Frayer, “Gandhi Is Deeply Revered, But His Attitudes On Race And Sex Are Under Scrutiny”, in NPR:
text: Gandhi is quoted as stating that “Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French” in 1938, ten years before the creation of the state of Israel. According to Indian professor of contemporary Middle East, P. R. Kumaraswamy[,] critics perceive New Delhi’s growing ties with Israel “as an abandonment of Gandhian values” and the 1938 statement has been used [to] reiterate India’s continued support for the Palestinians.

glosses: Of or relating to Mahatma Gandhi (Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, 1869–1948), leader of Indian nationalism in British-ruled India, who led India to independence and inspired movements for nonviolence, civil rights, and freedom.
