binome

Alternative form of binom.

The personal binome par excellence in Hebrew is the eponym, Jacob-Israel, which is transmuted into the commonest binome for a social organization.

The Greek language had a genius for aggregation into compound single words, a strongly agglutinative tendency, so that a name like Viola nigra had been in Greek simply Melanion (melan-ion) . But even Theophrastus used a binome now and then, such as Calamos-euosmos (the sweet flag, now Acorus Calamus) or Syce-Idaia, the 'fig' of Mt Ida (in fact a service-tree, Amelanchier rotundifolia).

Any expression involving impossible binomes -- by their addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, involution, evolution, the index of the power or root being real and rational -- is itself expressible as an impossible binome.
