No definition for AAO:0011015 ! auditory ossicle

XAO has:
"Any of the three tiny bones of the inner ear (columella or stapes, the sacculus and the utriculus) suspended in the otic capsule." [ISBN:0-07-017977-8]

However, the 3 structures mentioned, whilst present in both XAO and AAO[*], are not classified as auditory ossicles, contrary to the textual definition.

[*] AAO has stylus of pars media plectri which has a related syn of columella, but I can't see a corresponding structure in XAO
