A lingua franca. Example: Darī (q.v.) is a term long recommended by Afghan authorities to designate Afghan Persian in contrast to Iranian Persian; a written language common to all educated Afghanis, Darī must not be confused with Kābolī, the dialect of Kabul and surrounding areas that is more or less understood by eighty percent of the non-Persian speaking population and is fast becoming the nation’s koine.

The Hoovers charged, engines roaring and bags fully inflated.

Word: innominate bone Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From innominate (“having no name, nameless, unnamed”, adjective) + bone (noun), possibly a calque of Late Latin os innōminātum. It has been suggested that the bone “remains unnamed and unnameable” because it “is of so complex and irregular a form, that it bears no perceptible resemblance to any other known object”. Pronunciation: /ɪˌnɒmɪnət ˈbəʊn/, /ɪˌnɑmɪnət ˈboʊn/ 1. Synonym of hip bone (“one of two roughly symmetrical parts of the skeleton, each composed of the fused iliac, ischial, and pubic bones, that together form the sides of the pelvis”).

Example: On its sides, in the upper two-thirds of its extent, the sacrum is closely united to the two pelvic or innominate''' bones, which, together with it, enclose a basin or cavity, called the pelvis. Examined in early life, each innominate bone is seen to consist of three parts, which meet at the articular cup, called the acetabulum, for the head of the thigh bone.

A third explanation is that the term is a translation of Ancient Greek ἱερόν (hierón), which has two meanings: “holy, sacred”, and “big” — big being a more appropriate description of the sacrum — but compare. Pronunciation: /ˈsækɹəm/, /ˈseɪkɹəm/ 1. A large triangular bone at the base of the spine, located between the two ilia (wings of the pelvis) and formed from vertebrae that fuse in adulthood.
