Rfv-sense: "A large tooth that has fossettes". This is a definition based on the same suffix -id as in cuspid (a tooth with a cusp). However, I think sense 4 of the suffix listed here applies, and a fossettid is instead a small depression in the crown of a lower tooth. 70.172.194.25 01:15, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- I think you are probably right. I added your definition, with supporting cites. As for the large tooth with fossettes, I really only found one cite that might support this (in entry), and even there, it could be your definition. Kiwima (talk) 19:18, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- I think the quotation you listed under the RFV'd definition is actually one of the clearer examples in support of my definition. The entoconid and hypoconid are both cusps of a lower molar (see Glossary of mammalian dental topography), so the usage is implying there is a groove between two cusps of the same tooth. 70.172.194.25 08:01, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
