I just stumbled on a most interesting website:
http://www.etymonline.com/
All the etymology one could ever use.
Getting back to veniform: I've looked high and low for this word and it's definition. I've found villiform and vermiform. I've found venous and all its combinations. Is this a scientific term? I'm asking more from curiosity than anything else.

How about tautonomy???


Tautonomy : A taxonomic designation, such as Gorilla gorilla, in which the genus and species names are the same, commonly used in zoology but no longer in botany.

Interviewer:Mr Verccotti, what do you say to people who accuse you of exploiting Ron for your own purposes?
Mr Vercotti:Well, it's totally untrue, David. Ever since I left Sicily I've been trying to do the best for Ron.
Interviewer:And what's he going to do today?
Mr Vercotti:He's going to split a railway carriage with his nose.

Oophagy too???

Oophagy , literally "egg eating", is the practice of embryos feeding on eggs produced by the ovary while still inside the mother's uterus. (From Wikipedia)

Added tautonomy...

For Oophagy It seems to me after a search that Synodontis multipunctata when the young eat the cichlid eggs in the hosts mouth would also be considered this...do you think so?

From what I understand, oophagy could refer only to intrauterine cannibalism.
