1888 E. D. Cope in Amer. Naturalist 22 7 The propalinal mastication is to be distinguished into the proal, from behind forwards,..and the palinal, from before backwards.

1896 E. D. Cope Primary Factors Org. Evol. vi. 321 Ryder is of the opinion that the mastication of the Proboscidia is palinal.

1982 Paleobiology 8 265 Relative movement between these surfaces was largely palinal.

1994 Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) B. 345 451/2 The effective chewing stroke was backwards (palinal), the converse of that of rodents, in which chewing involves a forward (proal) movement of the lower jaw.
