Initial inquiries among professional typists uncover names like slant, slant line, slash, and slash mark. Examination of typing instruction manuals discloses additional names such as diagonal and diagonal mark, and other sources provide the designation oblique.
Ramon-Moliner and Nauta (Ramon-Moliner and Nauta, 1966) proposed division of brainstem nuclei into two major groups: (1) closed nuclei with relatively homogeneous perikaryal morphology and specialized, hodophobic dendrites that remain confined to nuclear boundaries; and (2) open nuclei with non-specialized (isodendritic) and overlapping dendritic branches, considerable cytological heterogeneity, and hodophilic tendency for spread into nearby fiber bundles.
A large hoard was found in the late 1950s in modern Wu-chʻia 烏恰 county (Ulugqat), which is west of Kashgar. It was in an uninhabited area on a path that passes through the Pamir Mountains from the Farghānah Valley to Kashgar. The hoard evidently belonged to a merchant who was forced to hide it in an emergency. It has never been properly studied and I was unable to gain access to it at the Sinkiang Museum. The archaeologist who wrote the published description of the find was not a trained numismatist. He reported that the hoard was made up of silver coins and gold bars, and that there were 947 silver Sasanian and Arab-Sasanian coins that weighed a total of 3,800 grams. Many of the coins appear to have been countermarked. Also found were thirteen crudely manufactured gold bars with a total weight of 1,330 grams; Li Yü-chʻun 李遇春, Hsin-chiang Wu-chʻia hsien fa-hsien chin-ťʻiao ho ta-pʻi Po-ssu yin-pi 新疆烏恰縣發現金條和大批波斯銀幣, KK 9 (1959), pp. 482-83.
Premature adrenarche should be distinguished from premature pubarche (early onset of sexual hair) even though adrenarche commonly causes pubarche.
