An unpaired word is one that, according to the usual rules of the language, would appear to have a related word but does not. [1] Such words usually have a prefix or suffix that would imply that there is an antonym, with the prefix or suffix being absent or opposite.
Glide (automobile) (1902–1920), manufactured by the Bartholomew Company; Oral-B Glide, a dental floss that before its acquisition by Procter & Gamble was known simply as "Glide Floss" Glide, a Pillow Pal dolphin made by Ty, Inc.
Mammals tend to rely on lower glide ratios to increase the amount of time foraging for lower energy food. [8] An equilibrium glide, achieving a constant airspeed and glide angle, is harder to obtain as animal size increases. Larger animals need to glide from much higher heights and longer distances to make it energetically beneficial. [9]
Co-hyponyms are often but not always related to one another by the relation of incompatibility. For example, apple, peach and plum are co-hyponyms of fruit. However, an apple is not a peach, which is also not a plum. Thus, they are incompatible. Nevertheless, co-hyponyms are not necessarily incompatible in all senses.
This creates an aerofoil enabling it to glide 50 metres (55 yards) or more. [28] For every 1.82 m (6 ft 0 in) travelled horizontally when gliding, it falls 1 m (3 ft 3 in). [ 26 ] Steering is controlled by moving limbs and adjusting the tension of the gliding membrane; for example, to turn left, the left forearm is lowered below the right.
A prominent, pointed terminal projection, especially of a carpel or fruit. berry A type of indehiscent fruit with the seed s immersed in the pulp, e.g. a tomato. bi-A prefix meaning "two", e.g. bisulcate, having two sulci or grooves. biennial A plant which completes its life cycle (i.e. germinates, reproduces, and dies) within two years or ...
A larger gap between the boiling points creates a larger temperature glide between the boiling curve and dew curve at a given mass fraction. [4] However, with any zeotropic mixture, the temperature glide decreases when the mass fraction of a component approaches 1 or 0 (i.e. when the mixture is almost separated into its pure components) because ...
Drosophila melanogaster is a species of fly (an insect of the order Diptera) in the family Drosophilidae.The species is often referred to as the fruit fly or lesser fruit fly, or less commonly the "vinegar fly", "pomace fly", [a] [5] or "banana fly". [6]
