pos: noun
examples: ...there is yet ample evidence of the existence of clasp-knives ages before the production of the Canterbury Tales. Among Etruscan antiquities in the Bronze Room of the British Museum are several clasp-knives, some of them with bone, others with bronze hafts, their blades being of iron — a metal employed for cutting implements by the Tyrrhenian tribes, at a far remote era.
A scalprum or penknife has been found in Rome, the blade shutting into a bone haft, which is carved to represent the upper half of a human body; and clasp-knives, with iconic handles of the Roman era, have been discovered both in France and this country.
“Well, this knife is called a clasp-knife, because it shuts and opens, as you see, and it has three blades — a big one for cuttin’ up your victuals with, as you see me doin’; and two little ones for parin’ your nails and pickin’ your teeth, an’ mendin’ pens an’ pencils — though of course you don’t know what that means.”
Blake picked his teeth reflectively with the point of a clasp knife.

examples: Further, species which show continuous variation that is not amenable to orthodox taxonomic treatment, and this is the situation in many monoecious plants, are treated as invariable.
Recently, monoecious plants have been found in several places in the United States. The plants of Australia are monoecious and dioecious.
Two factors are likely to allow the establishment of forms with reduced pollen output (i.e., fewer male flowers) in a monoecious population: increased seed fitness as a result of an increase in the ratio of female to male flowers, and a reduced rate of self-fertilisation.
