Thanks, greyfox.

Please explain the wordplay for isokont, which is usually defined as having flagella of equal length.

greyfox

Think 24 ac is: W (hen) eer i.e. weer being smaller

greyfox

Chambers gives 'Isokont' as another noun form for 'isokontae' : 'the green algae...'

Good point re. 24ac, but on the other hand wear fits with the "clothing" part of the definition.

aeronut

Question Author

Yes, isokontae refers to alga and I accept Chambers alternate spelling, but how about the "doesn't live with fine oxygen"?

Also found this in the OED:
1586 [see EARIK]. 1596 SPENSER State Irel. Wks. (1862) 504/2 In the case of Murder..the malefactor shall give unto them [the friends], or to the child, or wife of him that is slain a recompence, which they call an Eriach. 1612 DAVIES Why Ireland, etc. (1747) 111 The killing of an Irishman was..punished..by a fine or pecuniary punishment which is called an Ericke.

You've been making it more complicated than necessary aeronut. The definition is 'green alga': the wordplay being:

Doesn't live = isn't , absorbed by fine = ok oxygen = o.

Is (ok o) n't

So I see,
Nothing to it, really.
