Word: lum Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Borrowed from Scots lum, Early Scots lumb; further etymology uncertain, but probably from Cumbric *lümon, related to Welsh llumon (“chimney”) (obsolete), from Proto-Celtic *loimono. Possibly at least influenced by Old French lum (“light”), lume (“cooking fire”) (compare French lumière (“light; cavity or channel within a tube or tubular organ, lumen; opening”)), from Latin lūmen (“light; light source; opening through which light can penetrate such as an air-hole or window; opening or orifice in a water-pipe or funnel”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *lewk- (“bright; to see; to shine”). Pronunciation: /lʌm/ 1. A chimney; also, the top part of a chimney. Labels: Northern-England, Scotland Example: Now, by this time, the ſun begins to leam, / An' litt the hill-heads, wi' his morning beam, / An' birds, and beaſts, and fouk to be aſteer, / And ſtreams o' reek frae lumb heads to appear; […] Example: He bleez'd ovvre her, an' ſhe ovvre him, / As they vvad never mair part, / Till, fuff! he ſtarted up the lum, / An' Jean had e'en a ſair heart / To ſee't that night. 2.

Word: isochore Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From iso- + Ancient Greek χώρα (khṓra, “place”). 1. In general, a place or position with relevant parameters matching other places, as in having the same pressure, chemistry, population etc. Even within a single discipline the parameter might vary according to convenience e.g. in physics alone it might refer to velocity, volume, gravity, and many more. cf. contour, isopleth. Example: The numerical results are given from which the authors deduce the relation for constant volume and additional reasons are given for believing acetic acid (whose vapour density at ordinary temperatures is abnormal) to be a mixture of C₂H₄O₂ and C₄H₈0₄, the former preponderating as the temperature rises. The authors ask the Society for a name to designate lines connecting pressure and temperature at constant volume, and for which they suggested “isochore”... 2. A line drawn on a graph showing the variation of the pressure of a constant volume of gas as it varies with temperature. Example: An isochore is a curve on a PVT diagram, the pressure and temperature being variable, the volume invariable. Example: Thus, an isochore transformation in this case is a transformation at constant volume. 3. A contour showing points of equal vertical thickness of strata; equal to an isopach if strata are horizontal. Example: The isochore plan of the overburden thus obtained is then placed over the isochore plan of the seam. Example: Isochore maps of the sandstone bodies also indicate the presence of a number of channels flowing from the basin margin towards a central depression. 4. A sequence of DNA that has a reasonably constant proportion of pairs of guanine and cytosine bases, and is rich in genes. Example: A model that accounts for the differential recognition of transgenes integrated at different chromosomal locations, is the isochore hypothesis.
