[ennation, enneation ‘the ninth segment in insects’, for which mod. Dicts. cite ‘Maunder’, is a blunder for ennaton (a. ἔννατον late spelling of Gr. ἔνατον ninth) which appears in Maunder's Treas. Nat. Hist. 1848–54, but not in later editions. We have no evidence that the word was ever in Eng. use.] |
