Basically, Faldage, yes. Only it wasn't the dictionary I was browsing but a website about scorpians.

Thanks for the clarification, Z; however, my infernal dictionary tells me that "chelicerae" are
"usually modified as pincerlike claws" adding: "See chela". I see "chela", and am told, in turn, that chelae are "pincerlike claws". So what, chelicerae are usually claws but chelae are always claws... and pedipalps ("variously specialized as pincers in scorpions, sensory organs in spiders, and locomotory organs in horseshoe crabs") are all of the above but also mostly fang-like?
