15 hrs confidence: 
iliac / protruding glacier Explanation: www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/iliac \Il"i*ac\, a. [Cf. F. iliaque. See {Ileum}, and cf. {Jade} a stone.] 1. (Anat.) Pertaining to, or in the region of, the ilium, or dorsal bone of the pelvis; as, the iliac artery. [Written also {ileac}.] www.snowman-jim.org/family/holidays/2000/ Damages amounted to a chip off my hip bone (the Iliac Crest - that bony protruding part) Protruding is a good word there. Otherwise: 1) Is it a typo? 2) Use a specialised dictionary. Note: no hits for "glacier iliac" or "iliac glacier" on Google, nothing on GDT, nothing in Robert Collins general. HTH. I think "iliac" IS used in the expression you have in the sense outlined above though, ie protruding, or fin-like. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 hrs 17 mins (2004-08-12 07:21:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This is interesting too, maybe use \"crest\" instead? \"Glacier with an ilaic crest\"? Expressions: Crest Expressions using \"crest\": cedar Crest ♦ Cnemial crest ♦ crest fallen ♦ Crest Hill ♦ CREST Syndrome ♦ Crest tile ♦ dam crest ♦ East Hazel Crest ♦ flood crest ♦ Hazel Crest ♦ ***iliac crest*** ♦ Interior crest ♦ Neural Crest ♦ Pine Crest ♦ Wildwood Crest. Additional references. Hyphenated Usage Beginning with \"crest\": crest-derived, crest-fallen, crest-to-crest. Ending with \"crest\": wave-crest. Containing \"crest\": funnel-crest rosebud orchid.

Thanks. |
