Talk:lirulae

This seems to be a word in biology/taxonomic descriptions. I put some citations at Citations:lirulae, more uses in descriptions of things are on Wikipedia, and there are images at Google Images. @DCDuring, Chuck Entz can you work out the definition? Something like "oblique raised lines"? (Is this always plural or is there a singular?) - -sche (discuss) 07:56, 30 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

This is scarce in current English scholarly literature. It must be from lira#Latin ("furrow, ridge") and cognate with delirious (out of one's groove). What on-line source are the cites from? Do they have images? DCDuring (talk) 14:39, 30 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

I found the citations I put on the citations page via Google Books, and checked that they were using this spelling (other citations use an æ ligature). - -sche (discuss) 17:50, 30 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
