Talk:Nasal concha
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Plural/singular
You say "turbinate" or "nasal conchae". This is not correct.
The word "concha", meaning variously mollusk/murex/oyster/scallop, pearl/mollusk-shell, Triton horn, female genitalia, or holy-water font, is singular. The word "conchae" is the plural.
You can say "turbinates" or "nasal conchae". You can say "turbinate" or "nasal concha". However, it is incorrect to mix tenses.
[edit] Blacklisted external link (emptynosesyndrome.org)
I had to remove an external link to the emptynosesyndrome.org site. I don't know why this URL was blacklisted, other than the discussion at:

If this links is useful, perhaps someone with more knowledge of the subject matter can request an appeal of this blacklisting. WatchAndObserve 18:11, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
