Word: claviform Part of Speech: noun Etymology: The adjective is derived from Latin clāvifōrmis (“club-shaped, claviform”), from Latin clāva (“a club”) (from Proto-Indo-European *kelh₂- (“to beat; to break”)) + -fōrmis (suffix meaning ‘having the form of’) (equivalent to -form, -iform). The English word is cognate with French claviforme. By surface analysis, clav(a) + -i- + form. The noun is probably derived from the adjective. Pronunciation: /ˈklævɪfɔːm/, /ˈkleɪ-/, /ˈklævɪˌfɔɹm/, /-və-/ 1. An image or symbol which is club-shaped, that is, larger at the tip than at the base. Example: The claviform comprises a vertical line with a bulge at one side; but unlike the buttocks on the stylized females, the bulge is usually on the middle or the upper half of the 'sign'! It has been suggested that the 'upper bulge' on a claviform instead represents breasts, but this is based on supposedly stylized statuettes from Dolni Vestonice and elsewhere, comprising a rod with two little lumps near the top, and thus on analogies with sites even further away in space and time from the claviforms. Example: In the early days of research, the images were often read very literally, and this was certainly taken to extremes – the classic example, of course, is the ‘signs’ in Ice Age cave art which the first researchers assumed to represent actual objects, and gave them names accordingly – for example, ‘claviforms’ were thought to be clubs, ‘tectiforms’ were thought to be roofs or huts, and so forth [...].
Word: claviform Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From Latin clāvifōrmis (“nail-shaped, claviform”) (attested since 1677), from Latin clāvus (“a nail (metal spike)”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kleh₂w- (“a crook, hook; a peg”), + -fōrmis (suffix meaning ‘having the form of’), equivalent to -form, -iform. Pronunciation: /ˈklævɪfɔːm/, /ˈkleɪ-/, /ˈklævɪˌfɔɹm/, /-və-/ 1. Shaped like a nail (“a metallic spike-shaped fastener”). Example: CLAVOPORA Busk, 1874. Colony small, erect, coriaceous, claviform (nail-shaped), with two well differentiated parts: [...]
Word: claviform Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From or cognate to Latin clāvifōrmis (“key-shaped, claviform”) (documented since at least 1844), from Latin clāvis (“key”) (either from Ancient Greek κλείς (kleís, “something used to lock and unlock, a bar, bolt, key”), or directly from its etymon Proto-Indo-European *(s)kleh₂w- (“a crook, hook; a peg”)) + -fōrmis (suffix meaning ‘having the form of’), equivalent to -form, -iform. Pronunciation: /ˈklævɪfɔːm/, /ˈkleɪ-/, /ˈklævɪˌfɔɹm/, /-və-/ 1. Key-shaped. Example: The signs can be sorted out into two main classes: those which are paired or 'coupled' [...] and those which stand alone—mostly tectiform (roof-shaped) and claviform (key-shaped). There seems to be a conventional arrangement whereby certain signs are placed at the beginning of a 'sanctuary'. Example: [André] Leroi-Gourhan identifies the following male signs: hook, single and double bars, dots and rows of dots. The bars derive from the phallus and the dots – we are convinced – stand for drops of sperm. He identifies the following female signs: triangles, rectangles, oval, derived from vulva and pudenda, and claviform, i.e. key-shaped signs, abstractions from a woman's figure with prominent backside [...].

Word: penniform Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Latin penna (“feather”) + -form. 1. A symbol that is shaped like a feather.

Example: Startlingly, the much earlier Blombos cave engravings clearly fit neatly into several of Von Petzinger's categories: lines, crosshatching, cruciforms, penniforms, and perhaps others.

Word: languette Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Old French languete (modern French languette), diminutive of langue (“tongue”), from Latin lingua. By surface analysis, Old French langue + -ette. 1. Alternative form of languet. Example: The languette, or plate, is fixed between the two rows of caps, one of its extremities upon the two right-hand caps, the other extending on the left beyond the base of the rectangle. Example: Bronze sword. The curved heel has a small central languette or tongue. 2. Alternative form of languet. Example: This naturalist believes that the apparatus by the aid of which the act is performed is the series of dorsal languettes or the organs which represent them. Example: The wing-like opisthohaptor, bearing two rows of clamps placed end to end and separated by an anchorbearing lobe or languette -- in effect forming a straight angle -- is distinctive. 3. Synonym of lingula. Example: At the root of the languette, and a little below the middle of the interior space which intervenes between the mandibles, is placed the pharynx. Example: The languette, at first very small, as in the genus Atypus, afterwards becomes elongated and advanced between the jaws. 4. Synonym of lingula. Example: Lastly, the stem of each auditory hair presents a sort of appendage (the languette), to which the nerve of the hair is attached. Example: Proximally to the ligament this exposes the languette of the palmar fascia. Some of the fibres of this languette which pierce the subcutaneous layer system are demonstrated. 5. A tongue-shaped design used to decorate Ancient Greek pottery. Example: The foregoing analysis suggests that smaller dimensions and decoration with languettes are characteristic of hydrias in our assemblage, though neither criterion need be applicable in other regions or even in other PG periods at Lefkandi. (41) Example: It has a spherical body, and is decorated at top and bottom with languettes, or 'tongue' ornament. 6. A type of decorative hood used on a woman's bodice in the seventeenth century. 7. The tongue of a reed on a harmonium. Example: The instrument had to be soaked in water for a short time so the languette became soft again. 8. An elongated samara that occurs alone. Example: In the Maple (Fig. 205) each fruit has two samarae united at base. In the Ash there is but one to each flower; its long wing gives it the name languette (little tongue, Fr.) 9. A valve flap associated with the byssus of a mollusk. Example: The mantle entirely envelops the animal, and forms three apertures, one of which serves for the passage of the byssus and the languette; Example: Below it is the more fleshy languette or curtain valve which closes the incurrent siphonal opening when required.
