What's the difference between siphuncle and strand?
Siphuncle
Definition:
(n.) The tube which runs through the partitions of chambered cephalopod shells.
Example Sentences:
Strand
Definition:
(n.) One of the twists, or strings, as of fibers, wires, etc., of which a rope is composed.
(v. t.) To break a strand of (a rope).
(n.) The shore, especially the beach of a sea, ocean, or large lake; rarely, the margin of a navigable river.
(v. t.) To drive on a strand; hence, to run aground; as, to strand a ship.
(v. i.) To drift, or be driven, on shore to run aground; as, the ship stranded at high water.
Example Sentences:
