Alternative form of nonfungible.
Roman law draws a distinction between fungibles and non-fungibles which looks superficially the same as the thing/wealth distinction but is in fact different. A thing is fungible if it is not unique, in the sense that, if lost, it could be replaced by a thing that is to all intents and purposes identical.
