In the classical world the term ecumene is first used in the field of
geography, but already from the fourth century B.C. the term takes on a
cultural connotation, that is, it assumes the meaning of an inhabited, civilized
land, one worthy of attention from the viewpoint of political and economic
control.

Effigiate

Math - eigenvector:eigenvector

<mathematics> A vector which, when acted on by a particular linear transformation, produces
a scalar multiple of the original vector. The scalar in question is called the eigenvalue corresponding
to this eigenvector.

It should be noted that "vector" here means "element of a vector space" which can include many
mathematical entities. Ordinary vectors are elements of a vector space, and multiplication by a
matrix is a linear transformation on them; smooth functions "are vectors", and many partial
differential operators are linear transformations on the space of such functions; quantum-mechanical
states "are vectors", and observables are linear transformations on the state space.

Every existing object has three things which are the necessary means by
which knowledge of that object is acquired; and the knowledge itself is a
fourth thing; and as a fifth one must postulate the object itself which is
cognizable [7.342b] and true. First of these comes the name [onoma];
secondly the definition[logos]; thirdly the image[eidôlon]; fourthly the
knowledge [epistêmê].

Dear WW: I'm glad you asked. I found a site about "ventifacts" geologic
specimens shaped by wind driven sand. It is quite long, will tell you more
than you wanted to know.

from your http://www.ventifact.com/about.html link:

"...Wind carrying suspended particles like sand can polish and smooth a wide variety of rock types but Long Island Pleistocene ventifacts are mostly formed in fine quartzite and occasionally coarse quartzite (E.A.) , granitic rock and quartz pebbles."

Now there's a fine phrase for you: "coarse quartzite." Try saying _that_ three times quickly!

Edulcorate: free from acid properties or from soluble particles, purify (Latin dulcis - sweet).

I guess there’s a broader application here than just a dropping bottle. You could be doing this as part of a commercial process.
