manyplies

noun

1. Synonym of omasum (“compartment of the stomach of a ruminant”).

   “Now, in the process of returning the macerated food for re-mastication, it is the cud-duct, together with the shut termination of the gullet approached to the shut inlet of the manyplies, which forms the pellets.”

   “Through this contact the œsophageal pillars shorten so as to draw up the opening into the manyplies nearer to the reticulum, at the same time turning spirally on their own axes, the lefthand pillar being extended downward and to the right.”

   “The reticulum opens into the psalterium or manyplies (the third compartment) by a small aperture, and its lining membrane is thrown into longitudinal folds resembling the leaves of a book. The fourth compartment, into which the manyplies opens, is called the abomasum or rennet.”
