(n.) The process of forming into a leaf or leaves.

(n.) The act of beating a metal into a thin plate, leaf, foil, or lamina.

(n.) The enrichment of an opening by means of foils, arranged in trefoils, quatrefoils, etc.; also, one of the ornaments. See Tracery.
(n.) The property, possessed by some crystalline rocks, of dividing into plates or slabs, which is due to the cleavage structure of one of the constituents, as mica or hornblende. It may sometimes include slaty structure or cleavage, though the latter is usually independent of any mineral constituent, and transverse to the bedding, it having been produced by pressure.
Example Sentences:

(12) The single circumvallate papilla and fungiform papillae were initiated during the early part of the 13th day, followed on the 15th day by differentiation of filiform and foliate papillae and raised nodules of lingual tonsilar tissue.
(13) Morphological evidence of degeneration includes pyknosis of Purkinje cells and abnormal foliation patterns.

(16) The circumvallate and foliate papillae are characterized not only by their position, but also by presence of several taste buds which open through the external orifice of the gustatory canal into the cavity of the vallum, or furrow, which divides the two folds of the lingual mucosa.
(17) alpha-Gustducin messenger RNA is expressed in taste buds of all taste papillae (circumvallate, foliate and fungiform); it is not expressed in non-sensory portions of the tongue, nor is it expressed in the other tissues examined.
(18) This reorientation of the expansion appears to be related to the cortical changes which have been described and marks the onset of foliation.

(20) Ganglia of various shape and size were observed on or near the fungiform, filiform and foliate papillae.
Slaty
Definition:
(a.) Resembling slate; having the nature, appearance, or properties, of slate; composed of thin parallel plates, capable of being separated by splitting; as, a slaty color or texture.
Example Sentences:
