What's the difference between rody and ropy?

Rody


Definition:

  • (a.) Ruddy.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) We have previously used a synthetic 16-base-pair MCF env-specific oligomer probe to identify subgenomic MCF-related mRNAs present in the thymus tissues of AKR mice prior to the appearance of full-length (8.4-kilobase [kb]) recombinant MCF viral RNAs (A. S. Khan, F. Laigret, and C. P. Rodi, J. Virol.
  • (2) Krauss, Marjorie R. (New York University Medical Center, New York, N.Y.), James C. King, and Rody P. Cox.

Ropy


Definition:

  • (a.) capable of being drawn into a thread, as a glutinous substance; stringy; viscous; tenacious; glutinous; as ropy sirup; ropy lees.

Example Sentences:
