From "engines": The Hindu god Brahma supposedly based letters on the shape of the seams in a human skull.
Tut,tut. In anatomy, the line along which skull bones join is a "suture. Has to be Latin, or it's got no class. Looks better on the bill, too.

May we please request the History of the Western World as related by Sir Faldage--in the exact voice as quoted above? If we could read such a history written in that kind of voice, I imagine this would be a history I, at least, would stick with.

Is there any relationship with "to sew"? since in Italian we use suture for the process of sewing anatomical tissues in surgical acts.

emanuela, it's "suture" in English, too, when you sew someone up.
