Glans – Latin Translation
#1
<br>
Glans in the sense of a sling projectile is usually translated to acorn, but various dictionaries I have looked at suggest that it might mean other types of nut (for example see: cawley.archives.nd.edu/cg...ns&ending= ). Since glandes often take the shape of an almond, is it possible that this word could actually be better translated simply as “nutâ€Â
