Stalker was sent scurrying to the dictionary for a definition of this word anastomosis, which is lurking in the letter included in this month's edition from Martin Duffy of Amycel. Stalker , not being a scientist, nor necessarily scientifically literate, was stumped by the word.
The following are some definitions from Google:
Fusion of somatic hyphae;
a communication, direct or indirect;
a joining together;
the place at which two structures are joined;
a natural or surgical joining of parts or branches of tubular structures so as to make or become continuous.
Stalker must admit enjoying the root of the word, from the Greek stoma, meaning to furnish with mouth. There are times when one wishes that one had learned the ould Latin and the Greek.
