The Lapsed Standard

The lapsed text of the Standard Dictionary here at HCE, as previously referenced elswhere, submits in the example pictured to the unfortunate failure of staff, who, tasked with making order of the foraminiferant family of words, succumbs instead to an intervening impulse as expressed in the last listed word as shown.

Ms. Jean McKechnie, general editor of the book, beleaguered yet principally tasked with firmly excluding such nonce as this, let slip "foraminulose" as definition of "foriminulouse,"which as an alternate spelling may be all well and good, but gives no help in making sense of the thing, except as it may create in the looker's mind the self-same fahnicu-lee/fahnicu-lah sing-song which in this sad case monopolized the final exhausted offering of staff.
